Thallium(I) nitrate
open-in-new
<h2 id="preparation">Preparation</h2> <p>Thallium(I) nitrate can be produced by reacting <a href="/facts/Thallium(I)_iodide/nFAhA7QE">thallium(I) iodide</a> with <a href="/facts/Nitric_acid/UDbwGp6s">nitric acid</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p><p>However, the production is simpler starting from the metal, <a href="/facts/Thallium(I)_hydroxide/nAHTDBkW">its hydroxide</a> or <a href="/facts/Thallium(I)_carbonate/EETHpomH">the carbonate</a>: <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> TlOH + HNO3 → TlNO3 + H2O Tl2CO3 + 2 HNO3 → 2 TlNO3 + CO2 + H2O <h2 id="toxicity">Toxicity</h2> <p>Thallium(I) nitrate is extremely toxic, like many other thallium compounds. It is highly toxic by ingestion but can also be absorbed through skin due to its solubility in water.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Thallium(III)_nitrate/HUoHKylq">Thallium(III) nitrate</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>R.
