Beryllium Carbides Usage And Synthesis

Description

This compound has the molecular formula of Be₂C and the molecular weight of 30.0351 g/mol. It is a very hard compound.

Preparation

Beryllium carbide is prepared by heating the elements at elevated temperatures (above 900°C). It also may be prepared by reduction of BeO with carbon at a temperature above 1500°C.
Beryllium oxide (BeO) and carbon react at 2000°C(3600 F) to produce the brick-red beryllium carbide.
