Copper nitrate trihydrate

Description:
Copper nitrate trihydrate, with the chemical formula Cu(NO3)2·3H2O and CAS number 10031-43-3, is a blue crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly encountered as a bright blue, hygroscopic compound, which means it can absorb moisture from the air. This substance is often used in various applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of other copper compounds, in electroplating, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Copper nitrate trihydrate exhibits properties typical of metal nitrates, such as being a strong oxidizing agent. When heated, it decomposes, releasing nitrogen dioxide and oxygen, and leaving behind copper oxide. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and it may cause skin and eye irritation. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this chemical.
