Cerium(III) oxide, also known as cerium oxide, cerium trioxide, cerium sesquioxide, cerous oxide or dicerium trioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium.It has chemical formula Ce 2 O 3 and is gold-yellow in color.
Cerium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ce and atomic number 58. It is a soft, ductile, and silvery-white metal that tarnishes when exposed to air. Cerium is the second element in the lanthanide series, and while it often shows the oxidation state of +3 characteristic of the series, it also has a stable +4 state that does not oxidize water.
Cerium(IV) oxide, also known as ceric oxide, ceric dioxide, ceria, cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium.It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO 2.
Cerium exists in two main oxidation states, Ce(III) and Ce(IV). This pair of adjacent oxidation states dominates several aspects of the chemistry of this element. Cerium(IV) aqueous solutions may be prepared by reacting cerium(III) solutions with the strong oxidizing agents peroxodisulfate or bismuthate.
Cerium(III) chloride (CeCl 3), also known as cerous chloride or cerium trichloride, is a compound of cerium and chlorine.It is a white hygroscopic salt; it rapidly absorbs water on exposure to moist air to form a hydrate, which appears to be of variable composition, [1] though the heptahydrate CeCl 3 ·7H 2 O is known.
The anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− has T h (idealized O h) molecular symmetry.The CeO 12 core defines an icosahedron. [4]Ce 4+ is a strong one-electron oxidizing agent.In terms of its redox potential (E° ≈ 1.61 V vs. N.H.E.) it is an even stronger oxidizing agent than Cl 2 (E° ≈ 1.36 V).
An ICE table or RICE box or RICE chart is a tabular system of keeping track of changing concentrations in an equilibrium reaction. ICE stands for initial, change, equilibrium. It is used in chemistry to keep track of the changes in amount of substance of the reactants and also organize a set of conditions that one wants to solve with. [1]
Pure substances; essentially pure chemicals, characterised for chemical purity and/or trace impurities. Standard solutions and gas mixtures, often prepared gravimetrically from pure substances. Matrix reference materials, characterised for the composition of specified major, minor or trace chemical constituents.
