Calcium Nitrate Extra Pure – 500 gram Packs

Calcium Nitrate Extra Pure is an inorganic calcium salt used in laboratory research, analytical chemistry, and investigations involving nitrate compounds. The anhydrous form has the molecular formula Ca(NO₃)₂ and typically appears as a white crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for preparing aqueous solutions and conducting experiments involving calcium and nitrate ions. This compound is useful in studies of inorganic salts, precipitation reactions, and solution chemistry. Lab Wale offers Calcium Nitrate Extra Pure in a 500 gram pack for laboratory use. Calcium Nitrate is also available in hydrated forms, which have different molecular weights, so confirming the material form on the product label is important when calculating reagent quantities. Store the chemical according to recommended conditions and follow established laboratory safety practices, particularly because nitrate compounds may present oxidising hazards under certain conditions.
