Cuprous sulphite extra pure
Description
Cuprous sulphite extra pure, also known as copper(I) sulfite, is a high-purity inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu₂SO₃ and molecular weight of 207.16 g/mol. It appears as a white crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in ammonium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid (where it decomposes).
Key Properties
Physical: Fine white powder; stable under normal conditions but sensitive to air oxidation to copper(II) forms.
Chemical: Acts as a reducing agent and catalyst; decomposes in acids; limited solubility data available due to rarity in commercial use.
Applications
Primarily used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, in analytical chemistry for qualitative tests, and occasionally in specialized laboratory preparations requiring high-purity Cu(I) sulfite. 'Extra pure' grade indicates minimal impurities (<0.1% typically) for research or precise formulations.
