General

What is Cerium (IV) Sulphate? Also called ceric sulphate, it is an inorganic compound. It exists as the anhydrous salt Ce(SO₄)₂ as well as a few hydrated forms: Ce(SO₄)₂(H₂O)_x, with x equal to 4, 8, or 12. These salts are yellow to yellow/orange solids that are moderately soluble in water and dilute acids. Its neutral solutions slowly decompose, depositing the light yellow oxide CeO₂. Solutions of ceric sulfate have a strong yellow color. The tetrahydrate loses water when heated to 180-200 °C.
