CAS 22451-06-5: Sodium Tellurite Pentahydrate

Description: Sodium tellurite pentahydrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2TeO3·5H2O. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. This compound is a source of tellurite ions, which can exhibit both oxidizing and reducing properties depending on the conditions. Sodium tellurite is often used in microbiological media for the selective isolation of certain bacteria, as it can inhibit the growth of some microorganisms while promoting others. The pentahydrate form indicates that five water molecules are associated with each formula unit of sodium tellurite, which can influence its solubility and stability. In terms of safety, sodium tellurite is considered toxic and should be handled with care, as exposure can lead to harmful effects. Proper laboratory practices, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.
