Calcium hydride

Description:

Calcium hydride (CaH₂) is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of calcium ions and hydride ions. It appears as a grayish-white solid and is known for its high reactivity, particularly with water, producing hydrogen gas and calcium hydroxide. This reaction is exothermic and can be vigorous, making calcium hydride useful as a hydrogen source in various applications. It has a high melting point and is typically stable under dry conditions, but it must be handled with care due to its reactivity with moisture. Calcium hydride is often utilized in the production of hydrogen gas, in desiccants, and as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. Its CAS number is 7789-78-8, which uniquely identifies it in chemical databases. Additionally, it is important to store calcium hydride in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to hazardous reactions. Overall, calcium hydride is a versatile compound with significant industrial and laboratory applications.

Calcium Hydride

Controlled Product

CAS: 7789-78-8

Calcium Hydride is a chemical compound with the formula CaH2. It is a reactive, diatomic molecule that is an important reagent in organic chemistry. It can be prepared by reacting calcium metal with hydrogen gas and hydrochloric acid. The resulting product will react with water vapor to form calcium chloride and water vapor, which can be condensed to give calcium hydroxide. This process has been used for years to produce calcium hydroxide from limestone or chalk. Calcium Hydride also reacts with copper chloride at constant pressure and temperature, forming a complex of copper chloride and calcium hydride. It is used as a catalyst in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions that produce carbon-carbon bonds between organic molecules. Calcium Hydride has been shown to decrease hepatic steatosis by decreasing lipid accumulation and increasing fatty acid oxidation in the liver cells of rats. This may be due to its ability to induce mitochondrial biogenesis through activation of the AMPK/SIRT1
