properties | hydrated calcium nitrate is a colorless transparent monoclinic crystal. There are two variants of hydrated calcium nitrate. The α-form has a specific gravity of 1.896 and a melting point of 42.7 °c. The β-form has a specific gravity of 1.82 and a melting point of 39.7 °c. Hydrated calcium nitrate is very soluble in water and exothermic, soluble in methanol, ethanol, acetone, methyl acetate, almost insoluble in concentrated nitric acid. |
Use | hydrated calcium nitrate is a good nitrogen fertilizer for dry crops (nitrogen 13~17%), can also be used as a refrigerant, flocculants for the rubber industry; And for the manufacture of pyrotechnic, explosives, matches, electron tubes, etc. |
