I encounter a problem about calculating the molar mass of ZrO(NO3) xH2O. i am using a chemical product called Zironium(IV) oxynitrate hydrate whose chemical formula is ZrO(NO3)2 xH2O. My collegue told me that the x = 5. However, I found several papers in which one author mentioned that for their product, the x = 2.3 and another said x = 6. So, i wonder what is the exact value of x for this specific product. Thank you for anwsers.
Keywords:
Glycine-nitrate combustion.
anhydrous basis
Sigma-Aldrich supplier
My 60 years of experience has led me to the conclusion that you can never trust the manufacturers label with regard to water of hydration for most materials. You need to do a chemical analysis or TGA to determine water content and then determine the proper conditions for storage. If you are using this compound as a source of zirconium, determine the Zr content and go from there.
