Chemical Properties

light green powder(s); can be prepared by reaction of nickel with hot dilute phosphoric acid solution; used in electroplating [KIR81] [HAW93]

Physical properties

The heptahydrate is a light apple green powder; decomposes on heating; insoluble in water; soluble in acids and ammonia solution.

Uses

Nickel phosphate is a greenish powder used in electroplating.

Uses

Nickel (Ii) Phosphate is a pigment used in oil and water colors On ignition yields "nickel yellow".

Preparation

Nickel phosphate heptahydrate is obtained as a pale green flocculent precipitate when disodium hydrogen phosphate, Na₂HPO₄ is added to a nickel salt solution. The precipitate is air-dried.
