Zinc chlorite

Zinc Chlorite,Zn(C102)2.2H20,grn-yel crysts was prepd by Levi Cipollone(Ref). This salt was not exploded by percussion Ref G.R. Levi C. Cipollone, Gazz 53, 200(1923) JCS 124 II, 492(1923)... 

The zinc chlorite obtained was finally converted by sodium hydroxide into sodium chlorite, zine hydroxide being the by-product. After filtration the sodium chlorite solution was concentrated, crystallized, and the crystalline product dried. But the yield was not very satisfactory, as the reduction power of zinc is too high. Regarding this, lead monoxide in an alkaline solution appears to be a more suitable reducing agent. The reaction proceeds according to the summary equation... 

Impact sensitivities of mixtures of red phosphorus with various oxidants were determined in a direct drop-ball method, which indicated higher sensitivities than those determined with an indirect striker mechanism. Mixtures with silver chlorate were most sensitive, those with bromates, chlorates and chlorites were extremely sensitive, and mixtures with sodium peroxide and potassium superoxide were more sensitive than those with barium, calcium, magnesium, strontium or zinc peroxides. Mixtures with perchlorates or iodates had sensitivities comparable to those of unmixed explosives, such as lead azide, 3,5-dinitrobenzenediazonium-2-oxide etc. 

Zinc forms a wide variety of other salts, many by reaction with the adds, though some can only be obtained by fusing the oxides together. The salts include arsenates (ortho, pyro, and meta), the borate, bromate, chlorate, chlorite, various chromates, cyanide, iodate. various periodates, permanganate, phosphates (ortho, pyro, meta, various double phosphates 1. die selenate, selenites, various silicates, fluosilicate. sulfate, sulfite, and duocyanate.

Hydrogen fluoride was identifled by vacuum distillation, formation of NaF.HF, and titration. Hydrogen chloride was identifled through formation of silver chloride. Ammonia was determined quantitatively by Kjeldahl s method. The oxynitrogen acids or oxychlorine acids were identified qualitatively by Lunge s reagent. Anions of the oxychlorine acids—i.e., chlorite, chlorate, or perchlorate— were identified by reduction with zinc to chloride ion.
