Nitric Acid → Aluminum nitrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aluminum isopropoxide was used as the raw material. It is affordable and easy reacts with nitric acid to produce soluble aluminum nitrate. In 1 L beaker 500 ml of demineralized water was added. To this, 100 ml (142 g) of HNO3 was added and stirred for about 20 min. Next, 60 g of Al-isopropoxide (20 g at a time) was added to the nitric acid solution. Clear solution was formed in about 30 min. This solution was then used for further experiments.
