Violet Powder | [Description]
Cobalt(II) carbonate, CoCO3, is a reddish paramagnetic solid and an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification
of cobalt from its ores. It is an inorganic pigment, and a precursor to catalysts. Cobalt(II) carbonate also occurs as the
rare red/pink mineral spherocobaltite. It is prepared by combining cobaltous sulfate and sodium bicarbonate solutions. | [Application]
Cobalt(II) Carbonate is an inorganic compound that is an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of cobalt from its ore. It is also a paramagnetic solid, an inorganic pigment, and a precursor to catalysts. | [Flammability and Explosibility]

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Physical Properties]
Pink rhombohedral crystals; refractive index 1.855; density 4.13 g/cm3; decomposes on heating; insoluble in water and ethanol; soluble in acids.
| [Uses]
The compound occurs in nature as the mineral cobalt spar or sphaerocobaltite. It is used in ceramics; in cobalt pigments; as a catalyst; as a temperature indicator; and in the preparation of other cobalt(II) salts. It also is added to soil to provide nutritional supplement in forage for cattle.
| [Preparation]
Cobalt carbonate is prepared by heating cobaltous sulfate, cobaltous chloride or any Co2+ salt with sodium bicarbonate in solution:
CoSO4 + NaHCO3→ CoCO3 + NaHSO4
| [Reactions]
Cobalt carbonate dissolves in concentrated HCl or HNO3 when heated, evolving CO2:
CoCO3 + HCl→CoCl2 + CO2 + H2O
It is oxidized by air or weak oxidizing agents, forming cobalt(III) carbonate, Co2(CO3)3. It decomposes on heating, forming the oxides of cobalt with the evolution of CO2.
| [Toxicity]
The compound is moderately toxic by ingestion. (Lewis (Sr.), R. J. 1996. Sax’s Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 9th ed. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold.)
