Light blue hydroxide
Hello Dear forum members, please help me identify chloride salt.
Its anhydrous yellow.
Salt is very light, between green and blue.
With NaOH light blue hydroxide formed.
Same, with very diluted ammonia.
Not nickel, cos it should form complex with it.
No reduction with aluminium.

Might be some rare earth?
Smells like ammonia....

Will decompose sample of it, to oxide, I let you know colour later. And flame.

Its oxide is grey.

Chloride salt
Anhydrous
Hydroxide, with NaOH solution became colourles after nuetralization, with ammonia solution still green after all light blue unknown to me hydroxide
precipitated, that's it on picture. Not forming complex.
Decomposed sample of it, to grey oxide, which is non-magnetic.
Please help.

Perhaps some clarity as to source, method of acquisition (not necessary, helpful though). Do the stoichiometry of mass change when the grey oxide is
formed, that may or may not be helpful.
Possibly this?

Fits your oxide identification:

Indeed, it's a new year just now for me. Does my suggestion above fit the compound? Perhaps do some more testing.

Well, I find it likely it's Praseodymium(III) Chloride. Perhaps you should look up some properties of praseodymium(III) ions and see if you can figure
it out  Don't leave all the science to other members!

At the start it's purple, then colorless.
Valency change?
Then turning green, possibly nickel starting oxidizing, or reacting with solution.
Carbonate and hydroxide. same colour.

Titanium is other way roud, first it's green, then oxidizing to purple.
Ti? When green, green drops, when purple, pink-purple, when precipitated with base.

Iron is brown when in II state and green in third. As written in books, it's true.
When standing on air, green oxidising to brown. Happens quick.

The only chloride I can think of with that smiliar color are copper, nickel, and praseodymium chlorides. Are you sure it is a pure sample?

We need more information, such as where it came from. For all we know you found this laying in the street. Where did you get it, and are you sure it's
a pure compound?

No. dirty. Ceramics of dissolved capasitors.
In first valency it were purple.
Collected more of this, jar full of it.
Yes there could be nickel present in it.
And tin, I'll try to remove it on the next wash up.

could it be tantalum? some small ceramic capacitors contain Tantalum, but i know nothing of its chemistry.

No, doubt it. Tantalum is in yellow and black plastic case capacitors, wire inside and oxides. These are MLCC. With nickel plates inside.
And I tried boiling Ta2O5 in muriatic acid and caustic soda, none of it dissolved.
There could be anything, all removed from different brand boards, and years vary.

Does look like Sn+*, but not tin.

Sounds a lot like copper chloride to me. Anhydrous is brown, hydrated chloride is green, hydroxide is blue. The grey oxide doesn't fit, since it
should be black, but maybe there was incomplete decomposition. How hot did you heat it, and for how long?

copper chloride is what came to my mind first (I've noticed this thread today as you posted this reply  ).
Try dissolving carbonate or hydroxide in sulfuric acid to see what colour does the sulfate is.
