What Are Chemical Properties of Ammonium Metatungstate?

The chemical properties of ammonium metatungstate (AMT) mainly include the following aspects:

Solubility of ammonium metatungstate

Ammonium metatungstate is easily soluble in water, but insoluble in ethanol and acetone. It has a low solubility in cold water, but a high solubility in hot water.

Stability of ammonium metatungstate

Ammonium metatungstate is stable at room temperature and pressure, but decomposes at high temperatures. It loses crystal water and ammonium ions when heated, and may be further converted into tungsten trioxide (WO₃).

Redox properties of ammonium metatungstate

Ammonium metatungstate has oxidizing and reducing properties, but is usually not the main oxidant or reductant in these reactions. However, under certain specific conditions, it can participate in redox reactions.

Acidity and alkalinity of ammonium metatungstate

The aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate is weakly acidic.

Coordination of ammonium metatungstate

The tungsten atom in ammonium metatungstate has coordination ability and can form complexes with a variety of metal ions. These complexes have important applications in catalysis, analytical chemistry and other fields.

Thermal decomposition of ammonium metatungstate

Ammonium metatungstate undergoes multiple phase changes and decomposition processes when heated. At lower temperatures, it loses crystal water and ammonium ions; at higher temperatures, it is further converted into tungsten trioxide. These decomposition processes are of great significance for the preparation of pure tungsten trioxide and other tungsten compounds.

Reaction of ammonium metatungstate with other substances

Ammonium metatungstate can react chemically with a variety of substances, such as reacting with acids to form corresponding tungstates, reacting with reducing agents to form metallic tungsten, etc. These reactions are widely used in the preparation of tungsten compounds, catalysts, ceramics and other fields.

These chemical properties of ammonium metatungstate may vary slightly depending on factors such as preparation conditions, purity, ambient temperature and humidity. In practical applications, it is recommended to refer to specific product specifications or related literature.
