Erbium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt of erbium and nitric acid with the chemical formula Er(NO₃)₃.^[1]^[2]^[3] The compound forms pink crystals, readily soluble in water, also forms crystalline hydrates.^[4]^[5]

Synthesis edit

Dissolving metallic erbium in nitric acid:

{\mathsf {Er+6HNO_{3}\ \xrightarrow {} \ Er(NO_{3})_{3}+3NO_{2}+3H_{2}O\uparrow }}

Dissolving erbium oxide or hydroxide in nitric acid:

{\mathsf {Er(OH)_{3}+3HNO_{3}\ \xrightarrow {} \ Er(NO_{3})_{3}+3H_{2}O\uparrow }}

Reaction of nitrogen dioxide with metallic erbium:

{\mathsf {Er+3N_{2}O_{4}\ \xrightarrow {} \ Er(NO_{3})_{3}+3NO\uparrow }}

Physical properties edit

Erbium(III) nitrate forms pink hygroscopic crystals.

Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition ${\ce {Er(NO3)3*5H2O}}$ .

Both erbium(III) nitrate and its crystalline hydrate decompose on heating.

Dissolves in water and EtOH.^[6]

Chemical properties edit

The hydrated erbium nitrate thermally decomposed to form ErONO₃ and then to erbium oxide.

Applications edit

It is used to obtain metallic erbium and is also used as a chemical reagent.
