ACETYLENE TETRABROMIDE 98% - 500 ml

Description

Acetylene tetrabromide by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is high grade reagent. Also known as Tetrabromoethane (TBE) and 1,1,1,2-tetrabromoethane, this is a halogenated hydrocarbon. It is a colourless liquid with a very high density, which is soluble in water. This compound has a melting point of 1.0 C and a boiling point at 243.6 C. CAS No: 79-27-6 Quantity Provided: 250 ml per pack Molecular formula: C2H2Br4 Molecular weight: 345.67 Assay: Minimum 98 % Acetylene tetrabromide has a wide range of applications in various sectors. This compound is widely used to separate mineral ores from its supporting rock, by means of preferential flotation. Sand, limestone, dolomite, and other types of rock material will float on TBE, whereas, minerals such as sphalerite, galena and pyrite will sink. Acetylene tetrabromide has also been used to prepare tribromoethene by dehydrohalogenation using sodium hydroxide in methanol. This reagent has extensive applications in research.
