CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Beryllium nitrate is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid. It is soluble in water. It is noncombustible, but it will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities of the material are involved or the material is finely divided, an explosion may result. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires involving this material. It is used in chemical analysis. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White solid |
| Odor | Odorless |
| Melting Point | 60 °C; decomposes at 100-200 °C |
| Solubility | Soluble in water |
| Density | 1.56 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. /Beryllium nitrate solution/ |
| Decomposition | 100 °C |
| Corrosivity | In presence of moisture will damage wood and corrode most metals. |
| Other Experimental Properties | On heating above 100 °C, beryllium nitrate decomposes with simultaneous loss of water and oxides to nitrogen. Decomposition is complete above 250 °C. |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Beryllium Compounds, Inorganic |
