Zinc nitrate, with the chemical formula Zn(NO3)2, is a colorless crystalline solid that exists in hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and trihydrate (Zn(NO3)2·3H2O) forms. It is noncombustible but can accelerate the burning of combustible materials, and prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires involving zinc nitrate.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Zinc nitrate is an oxidizing agent. Reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 967]; mixtures of Zinc nitrate s with alkyl esters may explode owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates; mixtures with phosphorus, tin (II) chloride, or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979. p. 108-109].

Health Hazard

Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat. Ingestion can cause irritation or corrosion of the alimentary tract. Contact with eyes causes irritation, which may be delayed. Contact with skin causes irritation.

Flammability and Explosibility

Notclassified

Safety Profile

A powerful oxidizer. Can react violently with C, Cu, metal sulfides, organic matter, P, S. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx and ZnO. See also NITRATES and ZINC COMPOUNDS.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 7779-88-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7779-88:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*8)+(1*8)=156
156 % 10 = 6
So 7779-88-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
