Questions

  1. I wanted to ask about Titanium(IV) chloride solution (404985). From my understanding TiCl4 is highly reactive with water. How is it that this product can be stable in a water/HCl solution? Thanks in advance.

    1 answer

    1. Titanium(IV) chloride is not stable in water or at a basic pH because it can form Titanium(IV) hydroxide and/or Titanium(IV) oxide. But in concentrated hydrochloric acid, there is essentially no hydroxide ion present, so the titanium(IV) chloride is stable. In the case of Product 404985, which is a solution of TiCl4 in 20 percent HCl, the pH is less than 0.
