Ytterbium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt of ytterbium and nitric acid with the chemical formula Yb(NO3)3.[2] The compound forms colorless crystals, dissolves in water, and also forms crystalline hydrates.[3][4]
Reaction of ytterbium and nitric oxide in ethyl acetate:
- Yb + 3 N2O4 → Yb(NO3)3 + 3 NO↑
Reaction of ytterbium hydroxide and nitric acid:
- Yb(OH)3 + 3 HNO3 → Yb(NO3)3 + 3 H2O↑
Physical properties
Ytterbium(III) nitrate forms colorless hygroscopic crystals.
Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition Yb(NO3)3·nH2O, where n = 4, 5, or 6.[5]
