Lanthanum(III) nitrate is any inorganic compound with the chemical formula La(NO₃)₃·xH₂O. It is used in the extraction and purification of lanthanum from its ores.^[5]

The compound decomposes at 499°C to lanthanum oxide, nitric oxide and oxygen.^[3]

Preparation

Lanthanum nitrate is prepared by reacting lanthanum oxide with nitric acid which creates lanthanum(III) nitrate and water.

La₂O₃ + 6 HNO₃ → 2 La(NO₃)₃ + 3 H₂O
