Products Description of Lanthanum Nitrate CAS#10277-43-7
Lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate is a colorless crystalline substance with a characteristic nitrate smell. It remains generally stable under normal room-temperature conditions, but decomposes upon heating, releasing toxic nitrogen oxide gases. The compound readily dissolves in water and exhibits hygroscopic behavior, absorbing moisture from the air.
