| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
White Lustorus powder | [General Description]
Odorless white solid. Sinks in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE emits toxic fumes of chloride ion and bismuth when heated to decomposition [USCG, 1999]. | [Health Hazard]
Contact with dust causes mild eye irritation and can cause skin rashes. | [Physical properties]
White powder or tetragonal crystals; density 7.72 g/cm3; practically insoluble in water, alcohol and acetone; soluble in hydrochloric and nitric acids (with decomposition); Ksp 7.0 x 10-9. | [Preparation]
Bismuth oxychloride is made by treating bismuth chloride with water and then drying the white precipitate so formed to expel a molecule of water:
BiCl3 + 2H2O → Bi(OH)2Cl + 2HCl
Bi(OH)2Cl → BiOCl + H2O
Also, the compound is prepared by treating a dilute nitric acid solution of bismuth nitrate with sodium chloride. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
