Results for 'titanium':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Titanium dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid with great difficulty. When
hydrofluoric acid is present as well, then the metal dissolves easily. A
tinanium (III) fluoro complex is formed.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Titanium slowly dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid, forming deep
blue/violet titanium (III) ions. On addition of hydrogen peroxide these are
oxidized to titanium (IV), which in turn forms a deep red coordination
complex with hydrogen peroxide.
The deep red coordination complex is only stable in acidic to neutral media.
It also is easily reduced by nitrite. It is not affected strongly by
persulfate. With fluoride, a light yellow compound is formed, but the
formation of that may also be due to rise of pH.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Titanium metal slowly dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid and then
forms a very dark solution of a titanium/chloride complex. This solution is
much darker than an aqueous solution of titanium(III) in which the ions are
present as aqua complex.
With thiocyanate an even more intensely colored complex is formed. This complex
has the same color, but it is very dark.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Titanium(III) ions are fairly stable in acidic media, but in alkaline solution,
these become so strongly reducing that hydrogen gas is formed and water is
reduced!
