Properties

Physical Properties

Palladium ( II) nitrate is a reddish brown powder at room temperature. It is moderately soluble in water and forms a cloudy solution. It is soluble in dilute nitric acid.

Chemical Properties

Palladium (II ) nitrate decomposes on heating. It hydrolyzed in excess water, forming a brown basic salt. It has strong oxidizing, since both the Pd2 ion and the nitrate ion is NO3- oxidizing. By precipitation with caustic soda crystalline palladium (II ) oxide.

Use

Palladium ( II) nitrate is suitable for producing pure palladium.
