Chromic nitrate 13548-38-4

Chromic nitrate is an inorganic compound composed of chromium in its +3 oxidation state, coordinated with nitrate anions. It typically appears as deep violet or dark purple crystalline solid, highly soluble in water and alcohol, forming bright-colored solutions. This compound is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, and is commonly found as its nonahydrate form, Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂O. The molecular weight of chromic nitrate is approximately 238.01 g/mol. It has a density of around 1.85 g/cm³. The compound decomposes upon heating, releasing nitrogen oxides and chromium oxides.
