Chemical Properties | Back Directory | [Description]
Cadmium chloride is a colourless and odourless crystal. It is used for the preparation of
cadmium sulphide, used as ‘cadmium yellow’, a brilliant-yellow pigment, which is stable
to heat and sulphide fumes. Cadmium chloride has a high solubility in water and is a
non-combustible solid, but the dust can be a moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or
flame or when reacted with oxidising agents. It is incompatible with bromine trifluoride,
potassium oxidisers, zinc, selenium, tellurium, and hydrogen azide. | [Appearance]

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
CADMIUM CHLORIDE(10108-64-2) is a white crystalline solid. CADMIUM CHLORIDE(10108-64-2) is soluble in water. CADMIUM CHLORIDE(10108-64-2) is noncombustible. The primary hazard of this material is that CADMIUM CHLORIDE(10108-64-2) poses a threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. CADMIUM CHLORIDE(10108-64-2) is used in photography, in fabric printing, in chemical analysis, and in many other uses. | [Reactivity Profile]
Bromine trifluoride rapidly attacks the following salts: barium chloride, cadmium chloride, calcium chloride, cesium chloride, lithium chloride, silver chloride, rubidium chloride, potassium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, rhodium tetrabromide, sodium bromide, sodium chloride, and sodium iodide [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:164, 165 1956]. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Water soluble. | [Health Hazard]
Ingestion causes gastroenteric distress, pain, and prostration. Sensory disturbances, liver injury, and convulsions have been observed in severe intoxications. | [Potential Exposure]
Cadmium chloride is used in dyeing
and printing of fabrics; in electronic component manufacture; in photography; used as a pesticide and in nonpasture
turf fungicides. | [Fire Hazard]
Literature sources indicate that this chemical is nonflammable. | [First aid]
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion,
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As
first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy. | [Shipping]

ChEBI: Cadmium dichloride is a cadmium coordination entity in which cadmium(2+) and Cl(-) ions are present in the ratio 2:1. Although considered to be ionic, it has considerable covalent character to its bonding. | [Preparation]
Cadmium chloride may be prepared by heating the metal with chlorine or hydrogen chloride gas. In the solution, it is formed by treating the metal or its salts, such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide with hydrochloric acid: Cd + 2HCl → CdCl2 + H2 CdO + 2HCl → CdCl2 + H2O CdCO3 + 2HCl → CdCl2+ H2O + CO2 The solution is evaporated and crystallized to yield a hydrated salt. The hydrated salt yields anhydrous cadmium chloride upon heating under hydrogen chloride or when refluxed with thionyl chloride. Cadmium chloride also may be prepared by adding dry cadmium acetate to acetyl chloride in glacial acetic acid. | [Production Methods]
Cadmium chloride is manufactured in reaction of cadmium
metal, carbonate, sulfide, oxide, or hydroxide with hydrochloric
acid, followed by evaporation; it forms hydrated
salt. Commercial cadmium chloride is amixture of hydrates
that approximates to dihydrates. The commercial grade
available in the United States typically contains about
51% of cadmium. Liquid caddy contains 20.1% cadmium
chloride. | [storage]
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard: Store in asecure poison location. Store in tightly closed containers.Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizers or moisture. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise it from water (1mL/g) by addition of EtOH and cooling. [Pray Inorg Synth V 153 1957, Wagenknecht & Juza in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol II p 1093 1965.] |
Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Cadmium chloride is a cadium halide consisting of cadmium and chlorine. It is well soluble in water, methanol and ethanol. It can be used in photography, in dyeing, electroplating fabric printing and calico printing and for precipitating sulfide. It can be used for the manufacture of cadium sulfide, organocadium compound of the type R2Cd. It is manufactured through the reaction between anhydrous chlorine and hydrogen chloride gas with heated cadmium metal. It can also be made through the reaction between hydrochloric acid with cadmium oxide. However, it is a hazard to the environment, and should be limited for spread.
| [Uses]
Cadmium chloride (CdCl2), a soluble crystal, is formed when cadmium metal is treated with
hydrochloric acid (Cd + 2HCl → CdCl2 + H2). CdCl2 is used in dyeing and printing textiles, in
electroplating baths, in photography, and as the ingredient for cadmium yellow in artists’ oil paint. | [References]
