Indium nitrate trihydrate

Other Salts. Indium nitrate trihydrate [13770-61 -1], In(N02)3 3H20, is a soluble salt prepared by dissolution of the metal or oxide in nitric acid. Indium phosphate [14693-82-4], InPO, is precipitated by adding phosphate ions to a solution of an indium salt. It is soluble in water. 

Indium dissolves in mineral acids. Concentration or evaporation of the solution produces corresponding salts. With sulfuric acid, it forms indium trisulfate, In2(S04)s and indium hydrogen sulfate, In(HS04)2. The latter salt is obtained upon concentration of trisulfate solution. With nitric acid, the salt is indium nitrate trihydrate, In(N03)s 3H2O [13770-61-1] which on dehydration yields monohydrate, In(N03)3 H20.
