CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description	Ferric nitrate appears as a violet crystalline solid. Noncombustible but it will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities are involved in the fire or the combustible material is finely divided an explosion may result. Prolonged exposure of the material to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires involving this material. It is used for dyeing and tanning, in chemical analysis, and in medicine.
Melting Point	117 °F (USCG, 1999)
Solubility	Solubility in cold water: 150 g/100 cc; soluble in all proportions in hot water. /Ferric nitrate hexahydrate/
Density	1.7 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink
Other Experimental Properties	Solutions are corrosive to most metals. /Ferric nitrate nonahydrate/
Chemical Classes	Metals -> Metals, Inorganic Compounds
