ERBIUM CHLORIDE HYDRATE(CAS: 19423-85-9)

Erbium Chloride Hydrate (CAS: 19423-85-9) appears as a white, crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 345.66 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and less soluble in organic solvents. It reacts readily with bases and undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of water.

Erbium Chloride Hydrate (CAS: 19423-85-9) is synthesized by reacting metallic erbium with chlorine in the presence of water. The reaction requires careful control of temperature and humidity to prevent hydrolysis. The product is then dried to obtain the hydrated form.

Erbium Chloride Hydrate (CAS: 19423-85-9) is used in pharmaceuticals for its rare earth properties, in polymers for catalytic applications, in sensors for detection capabilities, and in semiconductors for doping and optical applications.

Handle Erbium Chloride Hydrate (CAS: 19423-85-9) in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Wear gloves, goggles, and a lab coat to protect against skin and eye contact. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and flammable materials. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for more detailed handling instructions.
