vanadylsulfaatti

Vanadylsulfaatti is a chemical compound with the formula VO(SO4). It is a bright yellow, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. The compound is composed of vanadium in the +4 oxidation state, coordinated to a sulfate group. Vanadylsulfaatti is primarily used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, particularly in the production of sulfuric acid and in the oxidation of organic compounds. It is also used in the synthesis of other vanadium compounds and as a catalyst in the production of certain polymers. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can decompose upon heating, releasing sulfur dioxide and vanadium oxide. Vanadylsulfaatti is toxic if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling the compound. It is also important to note that vanadylsulfaatti is a potential carcinogen, and long-term exposure should be avoided. The compound is typically stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances.
