Results for 'sodium chlorite':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Chlorite ion forms complexes with cobalt(II) and copper(II). It forms a
precipitate with lead(II). The precipitate with lead(II) forms a highly
energetic compound.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Ascorbic acid and sodium chlorite react violently and the dry mix can even
inflame.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Sodium chlorite and sodium nitrite do not react with each other in neutral
solution, but when acid is added, they react extremely violently, possibly
explosively.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Silver chlorite is stable, but only light heating is required for its
decomposition.
EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
When concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to solid NaClO2, then a lot of
intense yellow ClO2 is produced, but normally the gas does not explode.
When concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to a mix of solid NaClO2 and solid
NaBrO3, then a yellow gas is produced and within a few seconds at most, the gas
explodes, the explosion starting at/near the liquid surface.
EXPERIMENT 6
---------------
When sodium chlorite solution is acidified with acetic acid, then a brown
solution is obtained, which on addition of more acetic acid becomes lighter and
which on addition of hydrochloric acid becomes bright yellow.
EXPERIMENT 7
---------------
Chlorite ion and nitrite ion react with each other in acidic medium, giving off
quite some heat, while this does not occur with chlorate and nitrite.
EXPERIMENT 8
---------------
Chlorite ion and chlorine dioxide are sluggish oxidizers when in aqueous
solution, even in the presence of quite some acid. Bromide ion only is oxiduzed
very slowly and only partially.
EXPERIMENT 9
---------------
Lead(II) ion and chlorite ion produce a pale yellow precipitate. This solid,
when dried, explodes when heated in a test tube, it deflagrates when heated in
an open flame.
EXPERIMENT 10
---------------
This is a spectacular experiment. A mix of sodium chlorite and red phosphorus
can be ignited by bringing it in contact with hydrochloric acid.
