Water → Cerous carbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

First, 0.1 mole of cerium nitrate anhydrate was dissolved into 100 ml of distilled water, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a separate container, 0.2 mole of ammonium carbonate was dissolved into 100 ml of ethanol at 50° C. Then, the above two solutions were mixed with each other to cause precipitation at 75° C. for 6 hours. By doing so, cerium carbonate powder was obtained.
