Ammonium selenate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2O4Se.[1][2]
Synthesis
Synthesis is via a reaction of selenic acid with an excess of ammonium hydroxide.[3]
It may also be formed by the effect of an ammonia solution on a solution of selenic acid:
- 2NH3 + H2SeO4 → (NH4)2SeO4
Physical properties
Ammonium selenate forms white crystals of monoclinic system, spatial group C2/m, cell parameters a = 12.152, b = 6.418, c = 7.711, β = 115.5° Z = 4 and density 2.190 Mgm−3.[4]
It is easily soluble in water.[5] Soluble in EtOH and acetone.[6]
