Lithium carbonate, an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Li2CO3 and a molecular weight of 73.89, is a colorless monoclinic crystal that is slightly soluble in water and dilute acids but insoluble in ethanol and acetone. Its thermal stability is lower than that of the carbonates of other elements in the same group in the periodic table. It does not deliquesce in air and can be obtained by adding lithium sulfate or lithium oxide solution to sodium carbonate. Its aqueous solution is introduced withCO2Can be converted to acid salt; hydrolysis occurs upon boiling.
Store in a well-ventilated, dry area. Keep away from rain and water immersion. Seal and store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Do not come into contact with acidic materials.
