Abstract[edit]
In this article the salt calcium nitrate will be presented. The behavior regarding solubility an hygroscopicity will be shown for caclium nitrate and the different hydrate states.
Solubility[edit]
Under standard conditions the tetrahydrate of calcium nitrate Nitrocalcite is the stable phase. With its relatively high solubility in water it is a highly soluble salt. The temperature dependence of the solubility is shown in the solubility diagram, where in parts the solubility increases extremely with increasing temperature. The dehydrations to the Trihydrate, Dihydrate and at least to the anhydrous calcium nitrate take place at 43 °C, 49.5 °C and 51 °C, respectively.
