Cadmium acetate

Description:
Cadmium acetate, with the CAS number 543-90-8, is an inorganic compound that consists of cadmium, a heavy metal, and acetate ions. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various chemical applications. Cadmium acetate is primarily used in the production of cadmium-based pigments, as well as in the synthesis of other cadmium compounds. It is important to note that cadmium and its compounds are toxic and pose significant health risks, including carcinogenic effects and environmental hazards. Therefore, handling cadmium acetate requires strict safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper waste disposal methods. In terms of chemical properties, cadmium acetate can decompose upon heating, releasing acetic acid and cadmium oxide. Its stability and reactivity make it a useful reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry, but its toxicity necessitates careful management in laboratory and industrial settings.
