Cadmium hydroxide

Description:
Cadmium hydroxide, with the CAS number 21041-95-2, is an inorganic compound characterized by its chemical formula Cd(OH)₂. It typically appears as a white or yellowish solid and is insoluble in water, although it can dissolve in strong acids and bases. Cadmium hydroxide is amphoteric, meaning it can react with both acids and bases. It is primarily used in various applications, including as a precursor for cadmium salts, in electrochemistry, and in the production of cadmium-based pigments. The compound is known for its toxicity, as cadmium and its compounds are harmful to human health and the environment, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Cadmium hydroxide can also undergo thermal decomposition, leading to the formation of cadmium oxide and water upon heating. Due to its hazardous nature, regulations govern its use and disposal, emphasizing the importance of safety measures in industrial and laboratory settings.
