Preparation methods · 1 item

PreparationZinc nitrate is prepared by reacting zinc metal, zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide with nitric acid followed by crystallization. The salt is obtained as hexahydrate: Zn + 2HNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + H2 ZnO + 2HNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + H2O Zn(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2H2O The salt also is sold commercially in the form of fused pieces and technical flakes containing about 20% and 25.6% water, respectively.
