Radium Thiosulfate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Radium sulfate would have the molecular formula of RaS₂O₃ and the molecular weight of 338.1556 g/mol. It could be prepared by the reaction:
RaCl2+Na2S2O3 ? RaS2O3+2NaCl
It is expected to be insoluble in water so that the solution does not need to be evaporated at a low temperature to crystallize the product. The question of hydrate formation remains unknown as there is no record of this salt ever having been prepared. It has no CAS number. It is expected to be insoluble in ethanol. It is expected to be a white, crystalline, water-insoluble, poisonous, radioactive material.
