Calcium nitrate is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. It is soluble in water, hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air), and non-flammable. It has a density of 2.5 g/cm³.
Calcium nitrate can react with sodium carbonate to produce calcium carbonate, sodium nitrate, and carbon dioxide. It can also react with sulfuric acid to form calcium sulfate and nitric acid. Additionally, it can react with ammonium sulfate to yield calcium sulfate and ammonium nitrate.
Calcium nitrate does not react with manganese. Calcium nitrate is a salt composed of calcium and nitrate ions, while manganese is a transition metal. They do not typically react with each other under normal conditions.
To calculate the percent Calcium Nitrate, you can add the percentage of Calcium and Nitrate together. For example, if you have 15% Calcium and 10% Nitrate, the percent Calcium Nitrate would be 25%. This assumes that the percentages are based on the weight of the compound.
Calcium Chlorite (used in domestic Swimming Pools)
Yes, calcium nitrate is composed of calcium cations (Ca^2+) and nitrate anions (NO3^-). Calcium ions have a positive charge, while nitrate ions have a negative charge, resulting in a compound with the formula Ca(NO3)2.
