Preparation of Cerium Nitrate Hydrate
Dissolve an appropriate amount of cerium oxide in 50% nitric acid solution using steam bath heating. Typically, the oxide dissolves completely; if any residual oxide remains at the container bottom, filter the solution. Heat the clarified solution in a 75°C water bath to evaporate most of the solvent. Crystals form upon cooling. Collect the crystals by filtration and dry them in a vacuum desiccator containing granular sodium hydroxide and magnesium perchlorate under reduced pressure to obtain hydrated cerium nitrate.
