Does anyone know any reactions involving Te?

Post by jaelen »

I have these reactions and can't figure out what to do or where to go for help so can anyone help?

(1) Te + HNO3 + H2O ---> TeO2 + ?

(2) TeO2 + HCl ---> ?

(3) TeO2 + NaOH ---> ?

(4) TeO2 + NaOH + BaCl2 ---> ? (yellow solution with a precipitate)

Code: Select all

Te + 4 HNO3 = TeO2 + 4 NO2 + 2 H2O

TeO2 + 4HCl = TeCl4 + 2H2O

TeO2 + 2NaOH =Na2TeO3 + H2O

TeO2 + 2NaOH + BaCl2 = BaTeO3 + 2NaCl + H2O
Hope that helps :)

Thank you very much. I knew that Se and Te reacted similarly but I couldn't find the reactions I needed.

Thanks again :)
