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]

Figure 1: Solubility of calcium nitrate in water. The molality n(Ca(NO3)2•xH2)•kg(H2O)-1 is plotted against the temperature.

Hygroscopcity[edit]

Figure 2: Deliquescence behaviour of calcium nitrate in the temperature range from -30 to 80 °C. The water acitivity is plotted against the temperature.
