Aluminium Nitrate – 500 gram Packs

Aluminium Nitrate is an inorganic aluminium salt containing nitrate ions. The commonly encountered commercial form is aluminium nitrate nonahydrate, with the formula Al(NO3)3·9H2O and a molecular weight of approximately 375.13 g/mol. It forms a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. Aluminium Nitrate is used in laboratory preparation of aqueous solutions, inorganic chemistry investigations, and selected analytical and research procedures. The nitrate component gives the compound oxidising properties, so it must be stored away from combustible and incompatible materials. The anhydrous compound has a different molecular weight and CAS number, making hydrate identification important for solution preparation and quantitative work. Laboratories should verify the supplied form and follow the Safety Data Sheet for safe handling, storage, and disposal.

Why Choose Lab Wale to Buy Aluminium Nitrate

Lab Wale provides a sourcing option for laboratory chemicals used by educational institutions, research centres, and laboratory professionals. When purchasing Aluminium Nitrate, confirm whether the procedure requires the nonahydrate or anhydrous form, as the molecular weight and chemical identity differ. Check the grade, pack size, and available safety information before selecting the reagent. This supports appropriate solution preparation, storage planning, and laboratory risk management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Nitrate

What is Aluminium Nitrate used for in laboratories?

Aluminium Nitrate is used in aqueous solution preparation, inorganic chemistry experiments, and selected analytical and research procedures. The exact application depends on the method and whether it specifies the nonahydrate or anhydrous form.

What is the molecular formula of Aluminium Nitrate?

The common nonahydrate has the formula Al(NO3)3·9H2O and a molecular weight of approximately 375.13 g/mol. The anhydrous compound has a different formula mass and should be distinguished when calculating reagent quantities.

What is the CAS number of Aluminium Nitrate nonahydrate?

The CAS Registry Number for aluminium nitrate nonahydrate is 7784-27-2. The anhydrous form is associated with CAS 13473-90-0, so the supplied form should be confirmed before use.

Is Aluminium Nitrate suitable for educational laboratories?

It may be used in supervised laboratory experiments when the method is appropriate and oxidiser-related risks are controlled. Keep it away from combustible materials and follow the institution’s risk assessment and chemical storage procedures.

How should Aluminium Nitrate be stored?

Store it in a tightly closed, labelled container in a cool, dry location. As an oxidising salt, it should be segregated from combustible materials and incompatible reducing agents. Follow the current product Safety Data Sheet for specific requirements.

Storage Conditions for Aluminium Nitrate

Store in a tightly closed, compatible, labelled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from combustible substances, reducing agents, and other incompatible materials. Protect the reagent from contamination and follow the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet for oxidiser segregation and storage.

Precautions for Handling Aluminium Nitrate

Review the Safety Data Sheet before use. Wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, and avoid inhaling dust or contacting the material with skin or eyes. Keep the oxidising salt away from combustible materials and reducing agents. Follow approved procedures for spill response and waste disposal.
