Polonium dioxide

Hydrated polonium dioxide, PoO(OH)2, is obtained as a pale-yellow flocculent precipitate by addition of dilute aqueous alkali to a solution... [Pg.781]

Fusion of polonium dioxide with a potassium chlorate/hydroxide mixture gives a bluish solid (colorless when hot) which is more soluble in water than the corresponding polonite (Po032 ) this presumably contains some potassium polonate. The trioxide may possibly be formed by strongly heating polonium dioxide and chromium trioxide in air (12). [Pg.211]

Fusion of polonium dioxide with potassium hydroxide in air, or with potassium nitrate, gives a colorless melt the solubility of the polonium after this treatment corresponds with the solubility data for potassium polonite (12). [Pg.213]

Polonium tetrabromide is a bright red solid which melts, in bromine vapor, at about 330°C (7, 75), and boils at 360°C/200 mm 75). It is prepared by heating polonium metal in bromine vapor at 200 mm pressure for 1 hour at 250°C (7, 75) or, more rapidly, in a stream of nitrogen saturated with bromine vapor at 200°-250°C, and by heating polonium dioxide in hydrogen bromide or by evaporating a solution of polonium(IV) in hydro-... [Pg.215]

Polonium tetraiodide (8) is a black solid which sublimes in nitrogen at 200°C with partial decomposition to the metal. It is formed from the elements at 40°C/1 mm, by treating polonium dioxide or hydroxide with 0.1 N hydriodic acid, and is precipitated from solutions of polonium(lV) in dilute hydrochloric acid on the addition of 0.1 N hydriodic acid. It is also obtained as a black sublimate by heating polonium dioxide in hydrogen iodide at 200°C a black addition compound (PoCVxHI) is formed in the cold. Polonium metal does not react with iodine dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, but with iodine dissolved in benzene it does react to some extent. [Pg.217]

Metallic polonium is not affected by 15% bromic acid, even at 70°C, and polonium dioxide or polonium(IV) hydroxide are only slightly soluble (2.5 mg Po02/liter) in 10% bromic acid. Polonium tetrachloride is converted to a white solid of unknown composition by 15% bromic acid this could be a basic chloride (12). [Pg.219]

Polonium tetranitrate, with at least one molecule of dinitrogen tetroxide of crystallization, is formed as a white crystalline solid by the action of liquid dinitrogen tetroxide on polonium dioxide or tetrachloride polonium metal does not react with this reagent or with its solution in ethyl acetate. The dinitrogen tetroxide is rapidly lost on standing and the resulting tetranitrate decomposes to the basic salt (1) in l i 2 hr. under vacuum (16). [Pg.220]

Tellurium dioxide has a white (a) and a yellow (/3) modification, in both of which Te atoms have a coordination number of 4 and the structure is three dimensional. Polonium dioxide has the fluorite structure. [Pg.520]

Polonium-210 has a half-life of 138.4 days, decaying by alpha emission. Suppose the helium gas originating from the alpha particles in this decay were collected. What volume of helium at 25°C and 735 mmHg could be obtained from 1.0000 g of polonium dioxide, P0O2, in a period of 48.0 h ... [Pg.899]
