Results for 'nitromethane':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is a red/purple compound. When it is heated,
it becomes blue, first dark blue, lateron much lighter blue. The latter
compound is anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride.
Anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride dissolves with a deep blue color in DMSO. With
nitrite, apparently no complex (or a complex with the same color) is formed,
the solution remains deep blue.
The anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride also dissolves in water without problems.
Such solutions are pink. With nitrite these form yellow complexes on
acidification.
Anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride is not soluble in nitromethane.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Nitromethane gives a dark red/brown liquid in combination with aqueous sodium
hydroxide. This most likely is a polymeric species.
