Questions and Answers (Q&A) | Back Directory | [Uses]
Tantalum pentoxide is used in making high refractive index optical glass; as a dielectric film on tantalum for its use as a capacitor component and rectifier; and for preparing tantalum metal, its carbide, and many other tantalum compounds.
| [Preparation]
Tantalum pentoxide is obtained as an intermediate in extracting tantalum from the columbite-tantalite series of minerals. Also, the oxide can be made by heating Ta metal in oxygen or air at elevated temperatures.

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Tantalum pentoxide, Ta2O5, is a white powder existing in two thermodynamically stable modifications. The orthorombic b-phase changes at 1,360 °C (2,480 °F) into the tetragonal a-modification. The existence of an e-modification has also been reported. Tantalum pentoxide reacts slowly with hot hydrofluoric acid but is insoluble in water and in most solutions of acids and alkalies. For analytical purposes, it can be dissolved by fusion with alkali hydroxides, alkali carbonates, and potassium pyrosulfate. | [Chemical Properties]
