Oxidize it. Burning is really easy. Acids (even water) will work too. Solving of uranium in nitric acid, dilution with water, precipitation with ammonia (or other chemicals), first calcination to ammonium diuranate - (NH4)2U2O7, second calcination in air to oxide U3O8, reduction to oxide UO2 with hydrogen.

Is uranium oxide a metal?

Uranium oxide is a compound made up of uranium and oxygen, and is not considered a metal. Uranium itself is a metal, but when combined with oxygen to form uranium oxide, it becomes a ceramic material.


What are the masses of uranium and in uranium oxide?

If 5 grams of oxygen combines with 37.2 grams of uranium to form uranium oxide how many grams of the oxide are formed?

To find the grams of uranium oxide formed, we need to determine the molar mass of uranium and oxygen, calculate the moles of each element present, and finally the moles of uranium oxide formed. Then, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass of uranium oxide. The final answer for the grams of uranium oxide formed depends on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
