Zinc nitrate is a chemical compound.

Zinc nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Zn(NO) .

Bulk solutions of Copper sulfate and Zinc nitrate are supplied for this experiment, the solutions can be returned to the containers after use.

If it was hydrogen nitrate the nitric acid the zinc would push the hydrogen out and make a zinc nitrate.

Metal salts e.g. Magnesium chloride, Zinc nitrate, Zinc chloride.

The synthesis is typically carried out at temperatures of about 90 C, in an equimolar aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and hexamine, the latter providing the basic environment.

Zinc nitrate is usually prepared by dissolving zinc in nitric acid, this reaction is concentration dependent, with a reaction in concentrated acid also forming ammonium nitrate:

A typical process was carried out in a sealed chemical bath containing an equimolar solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylene tetramine at a temperature of 95 C for a period of up to 20 hours.

Aligned ZnO nanowires on pre-seeded silicon, glass and gallium nitride substrates have been grown in aqueous solutions using aqueous zinc salts such as zinc nitrate and zinc acetate in basic environments.

Zinc nitrate has no large scale application but is used on a laboratory scale for the synthesis of coordination polymers, its controlled decomposition to zinc oxide has also been used for the generation of various ZnO based structures, including nanowires.
