In the preparation of xenon difluoride dioxide from caesium nitrate and xenon tetrafluoride oxide, the latter must always be used in excess to prevent formation of explosive xenon trioxide.

F. Wallerant found that when mixed crystals are formed with increasing proportions of rubidium nitrate, the transformation point of caesium nitrate was lowered from 161°, until, with 75 per cent, of RbNOa, it reaches 145° the transition...

It will be observed that the m.p. of rubidium nitrate is lower than that of potassium nitrate, while that of caesium nitrate is higher. This is an unusual sequence in the properties of the alkali salts—see the solubilities for another irregularity. 

Anhydrous lithium nitrate is very deliquescent and sodium nitrate is also deliquescent. Since the last-named salt becomes damp on exposure to the air it cannot be used for some purposes for which potassium nitrate is applicable. Potassium, rubidium, and caesium nitrates do not deliquesce under the same conditions, although G. J. Mulder43 showed that if potassium nitrate be confined under a bell-jar over water at 14° to 20°, it does deliquesce and E. L. Kortright found the same salt at 20° to deliquesce when the partial press, of the water vapour exceeds 15 5-16 5 mm., and sodium nitrate when the partial press, of the water vapour exceeds 123-135 mm. A salt can be deliquescent only when the press, of the water vapour from its sat. soln. exceeds the partial press, of the water vapour in the surrounding air. If pi be the vap. press, of water, p, the vap. press, of a sat. soln. of the salt containing S grms. of salt pet 100 grms. of water, and k be the constant of proportion to be evaluated from the observed data, R. Emden has shown that Sk=(p—pi)/p, which enables p% to be computed from the values of p and S. The deliquescence press, of the water vapour for sodium nitrate at 0°, 10°, 20°, and 30° is then 3 5, 6 9, 12 8, and 22 6 mm. respectively, and for potassium nitrate, 4 4, 8 7, 16 0, and 28 3 mm. respectively.
