Zinc oxide, in bulk and nano
CAS-NO:1314-13-2
Molecular Wight: 81.38 g/mol
It is a white solid powder.
Zinc oxide is an amphoteric oxide and is almost insoluble in water. However, it dissolves in acidic and alkaline solutions. By adding sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to the zinc sulfate solution, first Zinc hydroxide is formed and then zinc oxide is produced at a temperature of about 1000 degrees.
ZnSO4 + 2OH– => Zn(OH)2 + S
ZnSO4 + CO32- => ZnCO3 + S
ZnCO3 or Zn(OH)2 => ZnO + H2O or CO2
