Description and Uses
Cadmium chloride is a colourless and odourless crystal. It is used for the preparation of cadmium sulphide, used as ‘cadmium yellow’, a brilliant-yellow pigment, which is stable to heat and sulphide fumes. Cadmium chloride has a high solubility in water and is a non-combustible solid, but the dust can be a moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame or when reacted with oxidising agents. It is incompatible with bromine trifluoride, potassium oxidisers, zinc, selenium, tellurium, and hydrogen azide.
Preparation of cadmium standard; analysis of sulfides; testing of pyridine bases.
