Zinc Nitrate Extra Pure is a high-purity, colorless crystalline solid commonly found as the hexahydrate form. It is a vital reagent in analytical chemistry laboratories for zinc and nitrate ion determinations, calibration standards, and synthesis of zinc complexes. Its high water solubility and oxidizing properties make it useful in catalytic, materials science, and environmental chemistry research. The Extra Pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise laboratory experiments. Careful handling is required due to its oxidizing nature and potential to release toxic nitrogen oxides upon decomposition. Storage in sealed containers away from reducing agents and moisture is essential to maintain quality and safety.
