Description
Inorganic compound, double salt of transitional metal vanadium, ammonium ion and inorganic sulfuric acid. From water solutions crystallizes as hexahydrate.
Precursors
Reduction of vanadyl sulfate with zinc
Chemical equation:
100.00
g of vanadium(II)-ammonium sulfate hexahydrate
а 65.36
g of vanadyl sulfate pentahydrate
, 68.25
g of ammonium sulfate and 16.89
g of zinc is required.Add to the flask with sulfuric acid a ammonium sulfate solution with stirring.Add acid solution to the flask, then add vanadyl sulfate and zinc pieces, shavings or powder and stir it until gas emission will stop.
This way creates mixed crystals with the Zn salt. Partitioned electrolysis may make pure compound or mixed crystals with the Mg salt. Solution is very sensitive towards air so paraffin oil is necessary to keep oxygen away.
Storage conditions
Store in its original form or under several layers of varnish at average humidity and room temperature. Do not store in matchboxes or cotton wool and do not heat.
