CAS 7790-78-5

Cadmium chloride, hydrate

Description:

Cadmium chloride hydrate, with the CAS number 7790-78-5, is an inorganic compound composed of cadmium, chlorine, and water molecules. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water, forming a colorless solution. The compound is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. Cadmium chloride hydrate is often used in various applications, including electroplating, as a precursor in the synthesis of other cadmium compounds, and in the production of pigments. However, it is important to note that cadmium and its compounds are toxic and pose significant health risks, including carcinogenic effects and environmental hazards. Proper handling and disposal procedures are essential to mitigate these risks. In terms of its chemical properties, cadmium chloride hydrate can undergo hydrolysis and can react with strong acids and bases, releasing cadmium ions into solution. Overall, while it has useful applications, safety precautions are paramount when working with this substance.

Cadmium chloride hemipentahydrate - ACS

CAS: 7790-78-5

Cadmium chloride hemipentahydrate is a chemical compound that has been shown to have genotoxic effects on animals and humans. Cadmium chloride hemipentahydrate has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis and enzyme activity in vitro and in vivo. It also has been shown to cause cell death and cytotoxicity in brain cells. This chemical compound is used as a model system for the study of cadmium toxicity, because it can be administered to animals without causing any adverse effects. When cadmium chloride hemipentahydrate is injected into rodents, it causes DNA damage, oxidative stress, inhibition of energy metabolism, and induction of apoptosis in brain cells.
