Cerium chloride (CeCl3), hydrate

Description:
Cerium chloride (CeCl3), hydrate, is an inorganic compound that consists of cerium, a rare earth metal, combined with chlorine and water molecules. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid, which can be hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. The compound is known for its solubility in water, forming a clear solution, and it can also dissolve in alcohols and other polar solvents. Cerium chloride is often used in various applications, including catalysis, as a precursor for cerium oxide, and in the production of phosphors for lighting and display technologies. The hydrated form indicates the presence of water molecules in its crystal structure, which can influence its physical properties and reactivity. Cerium, being a member of the lanthanide series, exhibits oxidation states of +3 and +4, with CeCl3 primarily existing in the +3 oxidation state. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
