Encyclopedia Britannica



M3C

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 304 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
M3C =
manganese
 ,
iron
  ; M2C = molybdenum ; M3C2= chromium ; MC = zirconium ; M4C3 =
beryllium
 ,
aluminium
  ; M2C3 = uranium; MC2 = barium,
calcium
 , strontium, lithium, thorium, &c.; M C4 = chromium.
The
principal
  methods for the preparation of carbides may be classified as follows:(1) direct
union
  at a high temperature, e.g. lithium,
iron
 , chromium, tungsten, &c.; (2) by the reduction of oxides with carbon at high temperatures, e.g.
calcium
 , barium, strontium,
manganese
 , chromium, &c.; (3) by the reduction of carbonates with magnesium in the presence of carbon, e.g. calcium, lithium; (4) by the action of metals on acetylene or metallic derivatives of acetylene, e.g., sodium, potassium. The metallic carbides are crystalline solids, the greater number being decomposed by water into a metallic hydrate and a hydro-carbon; sometimes hydrogen is also evolved. Calcium
carbide
  owes its industrial importance to its decomposition into acetylene; lithium
carbide
  behaves similarly. Methane is yielded by
aluminium
  and
beryllium
  carbides, and, mixed with hydrogen, by manganese carbide. The important carbides are mentioned in the
separate
  articles on the various metals. The commercial aspect of calcium carbide is treated in the
article
  ACETYLENE.
