Zirconium nitrate appears as a white crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various aqueous applications. The compound has a molecular weight of 231.23 g/mol when considered on an anhydrous basis. It is important to note that zirconium nitrate is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which may affect its handling and storage. The melting point of zirconium nitrate is approximately 60 °C, and it decomposes upon heating, releasing nitrogen oxides and other gases.
