EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Niobium pentachloride is soluble in thionyl chloride, but not very well. Also,
such a solution becomes turbid.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Niobium pentachloride dissolves in DMSO, and slowly reacts with it, giving a
really foul smelling compound.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Niobium pentachloride reacts with acetic acid, giving a colorless fuming gas
(most likely HCl) and a fuming liquid (most likely acetyl chloride).
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Niobium pentachloride does react with methanol, but not nearly as violently as
phosphorus pentachloride.
EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
Niobium pentachloride reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen chloride.
Niobium pentachloride also reacts vigorously with hydrochloric acid. The liquid
first remains clear, but on standing it becomes turbid.
When zinc is added, then a deep blue compound is formed, which on dilution
becomes brown, and finally becomes colorless and turbid.
