Iron III Nitrate Formula
Iron (III) nitrate is also referred to as ferric nitrate or iron trinitrate, whose chemical (or) the molecular formula is Fe(NO3)3 (or) FeN3O9. It is an inorganic compound that appears as a violet crystalline solid. Nonahydrate is the most common hydrate form, with the chemical formula Fe(NO3)3.(H2O)9. It is completely soluble in water, alcohol, and acetone, and is slightly soluble in cold concentrated nitric acid. It is a strong oxidant and a non-combustible chemical compound. Though it is non-flammable, it will increase the intensity of a fire if it comes in contact with combustible materials. The solutions of Ferric Nitrate are corrosive to most metals. It is used as a mordant in dyeing, weighting silks, tanning, and inhibiting corrosion, as well as a fertilizer and food additive.
