- Substance
Sodium bismuthate appears as a yellow-brown to olive-brown powder. It is insoluble in water, which is a significant characteristic that influences its application in analytical procedures. The compound has a melting point of approximately 300 °C, at which it decomposes rather than melting. Its density is around 4.3 g/cm³, indicating that it is a relatively heavy solid. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its strong oxidizing properties.
