Ammonium paratungstate hexahydrate’s chemical formula is (NH4)10H2W12O42?6H2O (APT?6H2O). Stability of Ammonium Paratungstate Hexahydrate It is key to generate ammonium paratungstate tetrahydrate ((NH4)10H2W12O42?4H2O or APT?4H2O) from aqueous solution of ammonium tungstate in the production of tungsten powders. Studies have shown that APT?6H2O can be formed under the generation of APT?4H20. Based on this data, it is assumed that APT?6H2O is metastable. Test to determine whether hexahydrate is metastable or not?! Under what conditions is it metastable? Find: The hexahydrate compound is…
