IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series. 89. Alkali Metal Nitrates. Part 1. Lithium Nitrate

This paper is the first part in the nitrate solubility volume. The solubility data for lithium nitrate are reviewed. Where appropriate, binary, ternary, and multicomponent systems are critically evaluated. Most of the solubility results were obtained in water or aqueous solutions. The solubility in ethanol and in alcohol+water solvent mixtures is also included. All data were critically examined for their reliability. The best values were selected on the basis of critical evaluations and presented in tabular form. Fitting equations and plots are also provided. The quantities, units, and symbols used are in accord with IUPAC recommendations. The original data have been reported and, if necessary, transferred into the units and symbols recommended by IUPAC. The literature on solubility data was researched through 2007. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3437029]
