How Is Nickel Ii Phosphate Synthesized?
Nickel(II) phosphate can be synthesized using a variety of methods. One common method involves reacting nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate in water at elevated temperature, followed by filtration and washing of the resulting precipitate. Another method involves reacting nickel(II) sulfate hexahydrate with sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate in water at elevated temperature, followed by filtration and washing of the precipitate. In both cases, the resulting product is typically dried and heated to form the desired nickel(II) phosphate compound.
