Overview of Ferric Nitrate

Ferric Nitrate is an important inorganic iron salt widely used in water treatment, catalysts, metal finishing, laboratories, and specialty industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically, the ferric nitrate formula is Fe(NO₃)₃, commonly supplied in hydrated forms for ease of handling and stability. It is valued for its strong oxidising nature and high solubility in water.

From a molecular perspective, the ferric nitrate structure consists of a central ferric ion (Fe³⁺) coordinated with nitrate ions. Ferric Nitrate typically appears as yellowish to light brown crystalline solids and readily dissolves in water to form acidic solutions. The ferric nitrate molecular weight (anhydrous) is approximately 241.86 g/mol, while hydrated forms vary. It is identified by the ferric nitrate CAS no 10421-48-4. Ferric Nitrate does not exhibit a true boiling point, as it decomposes upon heating rather than boiling.

Due to its chemical reactivity and performance, Ferric Nitrate is used strictly in controlled industrial environments. ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Ferric Nitrate with consistent composition, controlled hydration, and reliable industrial performance. Each batch is supported with complete documentation, including ferric nitrate MSDS, COA, and technical data sheets.
