Iron(III) Nitrate Nonahydrate (Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O) – LR Grade, 250g

Iron(III) Nitrate Nonahydrate, also known as Ferric Nitrate, is a high quality Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade salt supplied in a 250g container. This hydrated iron(III) compound is commonly used in educational chemistry laboratories due to its clear chemical behaviour and relevance to a wide range of curriculum topics.

The compound has a CAS Number of 7782‑61‑8 and a UN Number of 1466. It is typically supplied as pale violet to yellowish crystalline solid that is readily soluble in water, making it ideal for preparing aqueous solutions for demonstrations and student experiments. The presence of nine water molecules of crystallisation (9H₂O) makes it particularly useful for teaching about hydrated salts.
