Gadolinium Chloride Hydrate

Take appropriate amount of Gadolinium(III) oxide, dissolve it in 50% hydrochloric acid solution, and heat it with steam bath. Generally, Gadolinium(III) oxide can be completely dissolved. If a small amount of oxide remains at the bottom of the container, it needs to be filtered. Heat the obtained clear solution on a 75 ℃ water bath to remove most of the solvent. After cooling the solution, crystals precipitate. Filter the crystal, place it in a vacuum dryer filled with granular sodium hydroxide and Magnesium perchlorate, vacuumize and dry it to obtain hydrated Gadolinium(III) chloride.
