Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Statement on appearance taken from a Klimisch 1, GLP study on physico-chemical properties of this material
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Statement on appearance taken from a Klimisch 1, GLP study on the physico-chemical properties of this material.
GLP compliance:
no
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
powder
Colour:
brown
Odour:
other: not stated
Substance type:
inorganic
Conclusions:
Rhodium (III) nitrate hydrate is a brown powder.
Executive summary:

The appearance and physical state of the substance is taken from the test material section of a GLP-compliant study on the physico-chemical properties of the material (Atwal and Tremain 2011).

Rhodium (III) nitrate hydrate is a brown powder.

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Not reported
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The use of secondary sources of data is acceptable when they are based on a critical evaluation of peer-reviewed data and a consequent selection of a reliable and representative value for the property under investigation. The introduction to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics states that data for physical constants have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature. Where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. Therefore, although the method used is not known, the values presented here are acceptable as they are from a reliable secondary source of phys chem. data.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
other: hygroscopic
Colour:
Brown
Odour:
other: Not stated
Substance type:
inorganic
Conclusions:
At 20ºC and 1013 hPa rhodium trinitrate is a hygroscopic brown solid.
Executive summary:

Lide (2008) is a reliable peer reviewed handbook and so can be considered suitable for assessment of this endpoint. At 20°C and 1013 hPa rhodium trinitrate is a hygroscopic brown solid.

Additional information

The appearance and physical state of the substance is taken from the test material section of a GLP-compliant study on the physico-chemical properties of the material (Atwal and Tremain 2011). Rhodium (III) nitrate hydrate is a brown powder.

This is supported by information from a reliable, peer-reviewed handbook (Lide 2008) that is suitable for use for assessment of this endpoint. At 20°C and 1013 hPa rhodium trinitrate is a hygroscopic brown solid.
