Cu, Ni and Mn selenites + photo
I made some selenites. First one is copper selenite dihydrate CuSeO3·2H2O. It is very nice blue powder or crystal, but i never seen crystal. It's
insoluble in water.
I made it from basic copper carbonate and selenous acid:
Cu2(OH)2 CO3 + 2H2SeO3 → 2CuSeO3 + ......
Second one is nickel selenite dihydrate and NiSeO3·2H2O. It's light green insoluble powder. But i think this selenite is much soluble than copper
selenite, because when water added it becomes like a suspension, which is yellow liquid.
I used nickel chloride hexahydrate and sodium selenite:
NiCl2 + Na2SeO3 → NiSeO3 + 2NaCl
Third one is manganese selenite • ?H2O. Its brown insoluble solid. I do not have much information about it. It is a rather rare compound because I
did not even know the color before I made it.
I used manganese carbonate and selenous acid:
MnCO3 + H2SeO3 →MnSeO3 + H2O + CO2

Hi and welcome to SM .
These selenites have beautiful colour, especially nickel selenite.
Colour of manganese selenite is weird for II oxidation state. It looks like some Mn(III) or Mn(IV) compound. How precipitate looked when it was
freshly made? Was there red precipitate mixed with brown precipitate? Mn(II) compounds are mostly only weakly coloured. There are some exceptions like
MnO or tetraamonium hexamolybdatomanganate(II), but brown colour in 99% have compounds of trivalent and tetravalent manganese.

Thank you. Yes i know its Strange. I use manganese carbonate, which i bought in my town and i'm 100% sure that it is Chemically pure compound. As for
the selenousc acid it is the same. I did all the compounds in one day. I have no information. I tried English, Georgian, Russian and other languages,
but to no avail.

Welcome to SM Vano! I have 2 language in common with you, except Georgian, but probably you don't know Ukrainian
Edit: sorry, I didn't realise you are talking about selenous acid not selenic acid. So, please ignore the rest of the message.
Selenic acid seems to be a more strong oxidiser than sulfuric acid, it oxidise HCl to Cl2. So, I would suppose it can oxidise Mn(II) and you get not
the selenic acid salt of Mn(II) but selenous acid salt (what should be name for this?) of some higher valency of Mn. Also some irregularity in color
of the Mn compounds could suggest that the oxidising is not finished completely.

Thank you so much teodor. Unfortunately I do not know Ukrainian, But I use Ukrainian sources quite often. Of course, reaction between Mn 2 compounds
and selenic acid is very interesting. I have kilos of selenium and selenous acid, but no selenic acid. It would be interesting to heat the selenic
acid hydrate with manganese salt without water.
This is only sourse which i found two years ago. I mean here are hydrates with melting points. I would use any of them in this reaction.

I don't have any compounds of selenium yet, but what I red and also it looks interesting, is that BaSeO4 (which is insoluble like BaSO4) on heating
with HCl goes into solution as BaSeO3 (which is soluble).
I remember I was searching different imaginary ways to dissolve BaSO4 also by reducing. Its interesting that is is much easier with selenate .

Its very interesting. I know barium selenate is used in medicine as a suspension. I can make barium selenite. I have many barium compounds. I want to
make pentafluoroselenic acid, which no hard to receive. It can form compound with xenon - Xe(OSeF5)2. But the problem is that xenon is not available
in my city only argon, neon and of course helium.

Thanks for posting Vano. I can tell that you and I like to do the same kind of experiments (colorful inorganic).
The selenites look very nice. I hope to try them someday.
Sodium selenite and other selenites appear to be extremely toxic. Did you take any different precautions when working with them, simply use gloves and
not put it in your mouth?

Thank you. Yes i know soluble selenites have very low LD. But selenite is less toxic than selenate. I read somewhere (there was no English source)
that sodium selenate is three to four times more toxic than sodium cyanide. I am very interested in cobalt selenite, although I no longer have cobalt
salts. Most importantly these selenites are insoluble and less toxic. For example copper selenite Solubility in water is 2.761×10^ -3 (at 20℃).

I've read a few reports (all in English, lol). From what I can tell, sodium selenite has the same toxicity as sodium cyanide, and sodium selenate is
three times more toxic.
I would mail you cobalt salts if you were in my country, but you are quite far away.

Are you buying the stuff on behalf of some company? I have no idea what are regulations you have in Georgia now, but its interesting how the country
goes. In Ukraine, you know, everything is possible, but you should make friend with proper people.
I would be glad if conditions for amateur chemistry in Georgia, especially accruing wide range of chemicals, are good because I like your country,
alas have never been there.

Yes it is like Ukraine here. I know people who bought chemicals after the collapse of the Soviet Union and this chemicals are not registered. This is
a heaven for chemists. I can buy everything and everything is cheap. Here are some regulations, for example you cant buy potassium permanganate(but i
have lot), but you can buy cadmium, uranyl and thorium compounds. Every acid is legal. For example nitric and hydrochloric acid cost 6 Lari, which is
less than 2$. I bought two weeks ago 1 kilo copper one chloride and I paid 2$ for it. 100g Selenium cost 1.5$. The most expensive one I saw was
hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid cost 50$. The best thing is that I am the only buyer in the whole city and I have no concurents.

Do you use some special precautions working with fluorine compounds? It will be interesting to know a bit more about your equipment & techniques
if you really have plans to go that side. There are quite different people here, with different skills, many of them (including me) are not connected
professionally with chemistry, so they are amateurs studying mostly by videos, old books and info in this forum, and really many of us are not ready
to work even with Se compounds. I think it is important to share techniques and how to use equipment, protection etc for benefit of others people. So,
if you have some experience like safe practices it would be interesting to read. I would say more interesting than Nile Blue-Red's video about safety
which nevertheless already has a lot of views and discussions here.

I rarely come in contact with fluorine compounds. Mostly I avoid inhaling. As for selenium compounds, I usually use a mask, the main thing is that
the powder does not get into the body. A year ago I inhaled large amounts of sublimated selenium dioxide, though I was fine. To be honest I work with
acids and alkalis without gloves. I no longer have a reaction after falling on my hands, because I use them from a young age and their properties are
greatly exaggerated. I once made mercury oxide from Hg2(No3)2 •2H2O(Everyone thinks it is white solid, but it is actually yellow). When dioxide
heated it prodused mercury vapour. I heated it with torch and I had mercury all over my hand after the reaction(in the photo). But it is easily
removed, so if someone has a similar case, do not be afraid, the main thing is to wear a mask and glasses. I think my mistakes and experience will
help everyone so I will share it with you often.
This is mercury. I saved this photo:

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
When I review lists of lab accidents, most chemical injuries from spills / burns were from bromine (liquid and vapors) and concentrated nitric acid
(people spilling a good amount on themselves, not just a few drops). Have you had bromine on your hands before?

Just a few drops, but the skin will not burn. For example hydrogen peroxide (50%) is poured on my hand many times, but it just whitens and disappears
in a few hours, although the fingerprints look very nice![:)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

mercury compounds are very very serious stuff, i recommend you watch "2 drops of organic mercury" before playing around any more with them, on a
sidenote selenium can help you with avoiding absorbtion / toxicity of mercury
i think a lot of safety is hypocrisy, you can find video from i believe his name is Nile Red on youtube where he pours various acids on his hands and
even concentrated sulfuric acid started having an effect after around a minute
but when it comes to toxic chemicals the only guideline you should follow is that the absolutely minimum exposure is the only acceptable, but even in
our everyday life are we exposed to worse chemicals than the average chemist deals with in their free time, mercury is found in foods that are made
with high fructose corn syrup as its made from corn syrup and sodium hydroxide- around 50% of sodium hydroxide being made with mercury electrode, not
to mention tuna and salmon
cadmium in chocolate
even salad have many times tested positive for lead
my worst accidents with chemistry would be long time ago where i decided to concentrate sulfuric acid in a stainless steel pot over flame, when i went
to check up on it i was met with a wall of SO3, stepped back, took a deep breath and dived in to do what had to be done
another time oxalates had formed chlorine gas with bleach, i accidentally inhaled a very small amount of chlorine and i had to spend a day in my bed
hoping i would have nothing permanent out of it
and yet another time i was burning off some magnesium powder on a spatula in a flash with NO2, i didnt realize there was a tiny bit of concentrated
nitric acid in there, some of the burning metal fell off, reacted with the nitric acid, formed -- within a splitsecond large amounts of hydrogen and
NOx and the flask transformed itself into a 7point jet aimed directly at my fingers - 2 days with hand in cold water and about a month to heal up, and
this is the accidents ive managed to have for over 10 years dealing with chemistry
oh and a heads up, you wanna avoid mixing acetone with chlorine or iodine, teargas is too easy to make and it hurts really bad

Keep in mind the hands & fingers are much tougher than other parts of the body.
I agree that getting a small amount of most acids on your hands for a few seconds won't be a big deal, and I have watched the video you mentioned. But
there are many documented cases of more serious chemical burns from bromine & nitric acid liquids and vapors. Hopefully none of us will experience
this!

I agree with you, many foods are toxic, nitrites are constantly found in water in highland areas as well as in smoked meat and it causes many diseases
including DNA damage (As I remember it causes DNA methylation). I love cadmium compounds, but i only have inorganic salts, I really want
dimethylcadmium though, I even made cadmium bromide for this. Your cases are interesting.I have inhaled chlorine many times, but I am fine.
Concentrated ammonia solution works worse for me. Once I melted aluminum on, it was quite red, i.e. I overheated it to a temperature of 800 degrees.
When I got close to it I inhaled this hot air right on top of it and immediately started bleeding from my nose.

You love cadmium? Hmmmm....no accounting for taste- I can't see it being any more interesting than zinc, an element famed for its dullness.
But that's a very pretty iron selenite. Can you make the iron(II) one as well?
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

I love zinc. It is a very interesting metal. I also have microporous zinc, it is a grey powder. I wanted to try an analogue of palladium on carbon.
Microporous zinc has much smaller pores than activated carbon. Also its less active than normal zinc. But I do not have palladium and this time I can
not make it. In my city palladium chloride cost more than 30$ per gram. Yes i can make iron(II) selenite. It is a yellowish compound. I will do it in
a few days.

Cobalt Selenite is another colourful one. In suspension (I haven't isolated it dry) it is a deep mauve colour.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
