What is Samarium oxide?
Chemical properties
light beige crystalline powder
Physical properties
Yellowish-white powder; density 8.347g/cm3; insoluble in water; dissolves readily in mineral acids.
The Uses of Samarium oxide
Samarium sesquioxide is used in optical and infrared absorbing glass to absorb infrared radiation. Also, it is used as a neutron absorber in control rods for nuclear power reactors. The oxide catalyzes dehydration of acyclic primary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Another use involves preparation of other samarium salts.
The Uses of Samarium oxide
Samarium(III) oxide is used in optical and infrared absorbing glass to absorb infrared radiation. It finds use as a neutron absorber in nuclear power reactors to control the reaction. It is also used as a catalyst for the dehydration of primary alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. It forms samarium perchlorate when treated with perchloric acid, which is used as a reference material for checking the wavelength scale of a spectrophotometer in the range of 200 to 500 nm.
What are the applications of Application
Samarium(III) oxide is a lanthanide period salt for proteomics research
Preparation
Samarium sesquioxide may be prepared by two methods; (1) thermal decomposition of samarium carbonate, hydroxide, nitrate, oxalate or sulfate:
Sm2(CO3)3 → Sm2O3 + 3CO2
2Sm(OH)3 → Sm2O3 + 3H2O
or (2) by burning the metal in air or oxygen at a temperature above 150°C:
4Sm + 3O2 → 2Sm2O3.
