Hello students, today we will learn about the chemical substance Cs2S2O4. This substance is also known as Thiosunfat Cesium, or in English, Cesium Thiosulfate.
- Definition of Cs2S2O4
1.1. Common name: Thiosunfat Cesium
1.2. English name: Cesium Thiosulfate
1.3. Atomic mass: Cesium (Cs) has an atomic mass of 132.905, Sulfur (S) has an atomic mass of 32.06, and Oxygen (O) has an atomic mass of 15.999. Therefore, the total mass of Cs2S2O4 is 554.93 g/mol.
1.4. Constituent ions: This substance consists of 2 Cs+ ions, 2 S2- ions and 4 O2- ions.
- Properties of Cs2S2O4
2.1. Physical properties: Thiosunfat Cesium is a solid, colorless and odorless substance. The pH is undefined as this substance is insoluble in water.
2.2. Chemical properties: Cs2S2O4 can react with strong acids to form salts containing thiosulfate ions, SO3^2- and release hydrogen gas.
- Common chemical reactions:
Unfortunately, Cs2S2O4 does not react with metals, acids, non-metals or salts under normal laboratory conditions.
- Synthesis of Cs2S2O4
4.1. Laboratory synthesis: Thiosunfat Cesium cannot be synthesized under normal laboratory conditions.
4.2. Industrial synthesis: On an industrial scale, Cs2S2O4 can be synthesized from the reaction between Cesium, Sulfur and Oxygen under high temperature and pressure conditions. This substance is often used in the chemical industry to produce other types of Cesium salts.
