Compound Q&A
How is Ytterbium(iii) chloride hexahydrate (CAS: 10035-01-5) typically synthesized?
Answer
Ytterbium(iii) chloride hexahydrate can be synthesized by dissolving ytterbium metal in hydrochloric acid, followed by the addition of water to form the hexahydrate. The reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere to prevent the formation of other ytterbium compounds. The yield is typically high, and the product is purified by recrystallization.
