Aluminium nitrate

Aluminium nitrate is a chemical compound made of aluminium and nitrate ions. The chemical formula is Al(NO3)3. The molar mass is around 212.996 g/mol. It exists as a nonahydrate when hydrated. It is used in petroleum refining, dyeing, and leather tanning.

Preparation

Aluminium nitrate is soluble in water, so it can be made as a solution using a double replacement reaction and filtering out the solid precipitate.[source?] For example, aluminium sulfate and barium nitrate both dissolve in water, but barium sulfate does not:

Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 3 Ba(NO4)2 (aq) → 2 Al(NO4)3 (aq) + 3 BaSO4 (s)
