Properties: Chemical Name: Zinc Oxide Synonyms: Zinc Oxide Powder, Zinc White, Flowers of Zinc Molecular Formula: ZnO Mlolecular Weight: 81.38 Specific Gravity: 5.606(real); 1.2(bulk) Melting Point: 1976centigrade Boiling Point: Sublimation at 1800centigrade Heat of Formation: -83.24 Kcal/mol Free Energy of Formation: -76.08 Kcal/mol Melting Heat: 4470Kcal/mol Physical Properties: Yellowish-white or slightly yellow powder Chemical Properties: As an amphoteric oxide, reacting with acid, alkali, ammonia water produce salt, zincate, complex separately: ZnO+4NH4OH?Zn(NH3)4(OH)2+3H2O
Reacting to salt produce double salt: 3ZnO+ZnSO4+2H2O-ZnO)3. ZnSO4. 2H2O
Reacting to carbon dioxide in air produce zinc carbonate: ZnO+CO2?ZnCO3
Zinc oxide could be reduced to metallic zinc by carbon or carbon monoxide, but hydrogen being use as a reducant no metallic zinc could be generated: ZnO+C?Zn+CO ZnO+CO?Zn+CO2
