Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is a green monoclinic crystal. It disintegrate in dry air. It's easy in moisture absorption.
Specific Density: 2.05, Melting Point: 56.7º C, it decomposes into trihydrate by losing three water molecules and then converts into anhydrous salt at temperature of 95º C. It easily dissolves in water, alcohol, liquid ammonia, ammonia, and slightly soluble in acetone. It will burn or explode once in contact with organic chemicals.
Applications and Usages:
Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is mainly used in electro-galvanizing and preparation of other inorganic and organic nickel compound, preparation of other inorganic or organic chromium, as well as in glass industry and colored glaze for ceramics.
