CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description Zinc ashes appears as a grayish colored powder. May produce toxic zinc oxide fumes when heated to very high temperatures or when burned. Insoluble in water. Used in paints, bleaches and to make other chemicals.
Color/Form Bluish-white, lustrous metal; distorted hexagonal close-packed structure; when heated to 100-150 °C becomes malleable, at 210 °C becomes brittle and pulverizable
Boiling Point 907
Melting Point 419
Solubility Soluble in acids and alkalies; insoluble in water
Density 7.133 g/cu cm at 25 °C; 6.830 g/cu cm at 419.5 °C (solid); 6.620 g/cu cm at 419.5 °C (liquid); 6.250 g/cu cm at 800 °C
Vapor Pressure 1.47X10-6 Pa (1.10X10-8 mm Hg) at 400 K (127 °C); 0.653 Pa (4.9X10-3 mm Hg) at 600 K (327 °C)
Stability/Shelf Life Stable in dry air; becomes covered with white coating of basic carbonate on exposure to moist air.
Autoignition Temperature 460 °C
Decomposition When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /zinc oxide/.
Heat of Vaporization 114.8 kJ/mol at 907 °C
Other Experimental Properties Natural zinc is composed of five stable isotopes: zinc-64 (48.6%); zinc-66 (27.9%); zinc-67 (4.1%); zine-68 (18.8%); zinc-70 (0.6%); 18 artificial radioactive isotopes are known, most with very short (millisecond, seconds) or short (minutes) half-lives; zinc-65: half-life = 243.8 days

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

description

Zinc is one of the most common elements in the earth's crust. It is found in air, soil, and water, and is present in all foods. Pure zinc is a bluish-white shiny metal. Zinc has many commercial uses as coatings to prevent rust, in dry cell batteries, and mixed with other metals to make alloys like brass, and bronze. A zinc and copper alloy is used to make pennies in the United States. Zinc combines with other elements to form zinc compounds. Common zinc compounds found at hazardous waste sites include zinc chloride, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc sulfide. Zinc compounds are widely used in industry to make paint, rubber, dyes, wood preservatives, and ointments.
