Europium(III) carbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Eu2(CO3)3.
Preparation
Europium(III) carbonate can be obtained by mixing and heating an aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate and europium(III) chloride.[2] A saturated carbon dioxide ammonium carbonate solution (obtained from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and ammonium carbonate solution) can also precipitate europium carbonate from a europium salt solution.[3] Other preparation methods include the thermal decomposition of europium(III) acetate[4] and the reaction of a suspension of europium(III) oxide in water and supercritical carbon dioxide.[5]
Chemical properties
Europium(III) carbonate is soluble in acid and releases carbon dioxide:[1]
- Eu2(CO3)3 + 6 H+ → 2 Eu+3 + 3 H2O + 3 CO2↑
Europium(III) carbonate decomposes at high temperatures to form europium(III) oxide:
- Eu2(CO3)3 → Eu2O3 + 3 CO2↑
