Iron Nitrates

nitric acid salts of divalent and trivalent iron, Fe(NO₃)₂ and Fe(NO₃)₃, respectively. At normal temperature the crystal hydrates—the green Fe(NO₃)₂.6H₂O, pale violet Fe(NO₃)₃–9H₂O, and colorless Fe(NO₃)₃.6H₂O—are stable. The salts are readily soluble in water; for example, 87.3 g of Fe(NO₃)₃.9H₂O is dissolved in 100 g of water at 25°C. Fe(NO₃)₃ is used in technology as a mordant in dyeing cotton fabrics and for weighting silk. It is obtained by treating iron filings or bits of roofing iron with 20–30 percent solution of nitric acid. A more diluted solution of acid yields Fe(NO₃)₂.
