Chemical Information
FooDB NameCobaltous chloride
DescriptionCobaltous chloride, also known as cobalt muriate or COCL2, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as transition metal chlorides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest halogen atom is Chlorine, and the heaviest metal atom is a transition metal. Cobaltous chloride is an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cobaltous chloride is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound.
