Zinc Oxide (CAS#1314-13-2)
Pure zinc oxide is a white, odorless powder, free from mechanical impurities. It is insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Exhibiting the properties of an amphoteric oxide, it reacts with dilute acids to form zinc salts and with strong bases to form zincates.
