Some Common Sense Of Cuprous Chloride

Properties: white cubic crystal or white powder. The relative density is 4.14. Melting point is 430 ° C. The boiling point is 1490 ° C. Slightly soluble in water, water-soluble: 0.06 g / L (25 ° C), soluble in ammonia to form complexes, soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid to form H3CuCl4, and also soluble in sodium thiosulfate solution, NaCl solution and KCl solution to form corresponding combinations Substance, insoluble in ethanol.

When exposed to air, it is easily oxidized to green high-priced copper salts, which decomposes in the light and turns brown. It is stable in dry air and easily blue to brown when wet. When melting, it is iron-grey. It is rapidly oxidized into basic salt in the air when exposed, and it is green. It turns brown when exposed to light. It is rapidly hydrolyzed in hot water to form cuprous oxide hydrate and turns red. It reacts slowly with strong acid. The hydrochloric acid solution of CuCl can absorb carbon monoxide to form a compound of copper carbonyl chloride [Cu2Cl2 (CO) 2 · 2H2O] (toxic!). When heated, carbon monoxide can be released. If excessive Cu2Cl2 is present, the solution will react with CO. The absorption is almost quantitative, so this reaction can be used to determine the amount of CO in a mixed gas in a gas analysis.

Cuprous Chloride is a covalent compound and its melt conductivity is poor. The relative molecular mass of its vapor was measured, and it was confirmed that its molecular formula should be Cu2Cl2, and its chemical formula was usually written as cuprous chloride

It has strong irritation to the skin. The dust makes the skin itchy and blistering, which irritates the eyes and tears. Production operators should wear protective equipment such as work clothes, masks, gloves, etc. The production equipment should be closed, the workshop should be well ventilated, take a shower after work, pay attention to protect the skin and respiratory organs.

Packed in an iron drum sealed with 2 plastic bags, net weight 35kg or 50kg. There should be a clear "drugs" sign on the packaging. Is an inorganic drug. It should be stored in a cool, ventilated, dry and dark warehouse. The container must be sealed to prevent moisture. Do not co-storage with food items and oxidants. Protect from rain and sun during transportation. Handle with care when loading and unloading to prevent the package from being damaged and deliquesced. Shelf life is three months. In case of fire, water, sand and various fire extinguishers can be used to extinguish the fire.
