Carbon and its compounds 4
Performance Objectives
The student should be able to:
- State the preparation, uses, and properties of trioxocarbonate(iv) acids and its salts
Content
Oxides of carbon
Trioxocarbonate (iv) acids
Trioxocarbonate (iv) are salts from trioxocarbonate (iv) acids when it reacts with metals and metallic oxides.
All trioxocarbonate (iv) salts of sodium (Na), potassium (K), and ammonium (NH4+) are soluble while others are insoluble.
Preparation of soluble trioxocarbonate (IV) salt:
The water soluble trioxocarbonate (IV) salts are sodium, potassium, and ammonium trioxocarbonate (IV). They are generally made by passing carbon (IV) oxide via a solution of corresponding alkali.
