» Common Cadmium compounds:
• Cadmium Nitrate, Cd(NO3)2
• Cadmium Sulfite, CdSO3
• Cadmium(II) Iodide, CdI2
• Cadmium Bromide, CdBr2
• Cadmium Phosphate, Cd3(PO4)2
• Cadmium Hydroxide, Cd(OH)2
• Cadmium Oxide, CdO
• Cadmium Peroxide, CdO2
Example Reactions:
• Cd + NiO2 + 2H2O = Cd(OH)2 + Ni(OH)2↓
• Cd + O2 = CdO2
• Cd + Pb(NO3)2 = Cd(NO3)2 + Pb
• Cd + H2SO4 = CdSO4 + H2
• 2AgNO3 + Cd = Cd(NO3)2 + 2Ag
• Cd + 2HCl = CdCl2 + H2
• CdSO4 + Zn = ZnSO4 + Cd
• Cd + CuSO4 = Cu + CdSO4
• 3H2O + Cd + Ni2O3 = Cd(OH)2 + 2Ni(OH)2↓
• Mn + Cd(NO3)2 = Mn(NO3)2 + Cd
