Definition

ChEBI: A hydrate that is the tetrahydrate form of cadmium nitrate.

Safety Profile

Confirmed human carcinogen. Poison by ingestion. A severe skin and moderate eye irritant. Mutation data reported. See also CADMIUM COMPOUNDS, CADMIUM NITRATE, and NITRATES. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cd and NOx

Purification Methods

Crystallise the nitrate from water (0.5mL/g) by cooling in ice-salt. [Gmelin’s Cadmium (8th edn) 33 pp 76-78 1925, Suppl p 446 1959.]
