Compound Q&A
What are the physical and chemical properties of Molybdenum carbide (CAS: 12627-57-5)?
Answer
Molybdenum carbide (MoC) is a refractory ceramic material. It crystallizes in the hexagonal close-packed structure with a high melting point of around 2800°C. The molecular weight is approximately 72.95 g/mol. It is insoluble in water and most common solvents. Chemically, it is stable at high temperatures but reacts with halogens and oxygen at lower temperatures. It is used in high-temperature applications due to its hardness and wear resistance.
