Properties of CsHCO3:
2.1 Physical properties of CsHCO3:
State: Solid
Color: White
Smell: Odorless
PH level: Neutral
2.2 Chemical properties of CsHCO3:
CsHCO3 reacts with acid to form CO2, water and cesium salt. -
Common chemical equation for CsHCO3:
CsHCO3 + HCl -> CsCl + H2O + CO2 -
Synthesis of CsHCO3:
4.1 Laboratory synthesis of CsHCO3:
CsHCO3 is not usually produced in the lab because it is not stable at room temperature and decomposes into CO2 and Cs2CO3.
4.2 Industrial synthesis of CsHCO3:
CsHCO3 is produced industrially by separating cesium from the natural environment, converting it into cesium salts, then forming bicarbonate salts by adding CO2 and water.
