| | COBALT THIOCYANATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | This deep red-violet salt is obtained as the tetrahydrate by
crystallization of an aqueous solution of cobalt carbonate in thiocyanic acid. It is very
deliquescent and gives a dark blue concentrated solution which turns pink upon dilution.
It gives blue solutions in many organic solvents. | | Chemical Properties | solid | | Uses | Cobalt(II) thiocyanate is best known for the cobalt thiocyanate test (or Scott test), which is a proven screening test for the presence of cocaine. |
