IN2337 Indium Sulfate Powder (In2(SO4)3) (CAS No.13464-82-9)

Description of Indium Sulfate Powder

Indium(III) sulfate (In2(SO4)3) is a sulfate salt of the metal indium. It is a sesquisulfate, meaning that the sulfate group occurs 1 1/2 times as much as the metal. It may be formed by the reaction of indium, its oxide, or its carbonate with sulfuric acid. An excess of a strong acid is required, otherwise insoluble basic salts are formed. As a solid indium sulfate can be anhydrous, or take the form of a pentahydrate with five water molecules or a nonahydrate with nine molecules of water. Indium sulfate is used in the production of indium or indium-containing substances. Indium sulfate also can be found in basic salts, acidic salts or double salts including indium alum.
