Aluminium nitrate dissolves readily to give a colourless solution of aluminium ions, which makes it ideal for showing amphoteric behaviour. Adding sodium hydroxide drop by drop produces a white, gelatinous aluminium hydroxide precipitate that redissolves in excess alkali, whereas ammonia solution gives the same precipitate without dissolving it, which is how students tell aluminium apart from zinc in cation analysis.
Solutions of the salt are also used to prepare aluminium hydroxide gels, as a mordant in dyeing demonstrations and in materials-chemistry work that needs a soluble aluminium source. The crystals absorb moisture from the air and the salt is an oxidiser, so keep the lid tight, store it away from combustible materials and wear goggles when making up solutions.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, sources Aluminum Nitrate 100 g and supplies it with its MSDS to teaching laboratories, research groups and dealers, typically as part of a mixed chemicals order. If your method needs a particular hydrate or purity, say so in your enquiry so that we can confirm availability. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

What is Aluminum Nitrate 100 g used for?
Aluminum Nitrate 100 g is used as a soluble source of aluminium ions for qualitative cation tests, for demonstrating the amphoteric nature of aluminium hydroxide, and for preparing aluminium-containing solutions in chemistry and materials-science teaching.
What grade and quantity does this pack contain?
This pack of Aluminum Nitrate 100 g contains 100 g of analytical reagent grade aluminium nitrate and comes with an MSDS. The hydrate form is not stated on the listing, so ask us to confirm it if your calculations require it.
How do you test for aluminium ions using Aluminum Nitrate 100 g?
To test for aluminium ions with Aluminum Nitrate 100 g, add sodium hydroxide solution drop by drop: a white precipitate forms and then dissolves in excess. With ammonia solution the white precipitate remains, which separates aluminium from zinc.
How should Aluminum Nitrate 100 g be stored?
Keep Aluminum Nitrate 100 g tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from combustible materials and reducing agents, because it absorbs moisture and is an oxidiser. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Is Aluminum Nitrate 100 g the same as aluminium nitrate?
Yes, Aluminum Nitrate 100 g uses the American spelling of aluminium; the chemical is the same aluminium nitrate taught in Indian and British syllabuses. Either spelling can be used in your purchase order along with the product code SCI-640/279.
Who supplies Aluminum Nitrate 100 g SCI-640/279?
Aluminum Nitrate 100 g SCI-640/279 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
