Question -   I am trying to find a CAS number for cerous ammonium
nitrate.  The chemical formula is (NH4)2Ce(NO3)5 x 4H2O
----------------------------------------------
I was able to find cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate; however, the formula shown was
(NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 but no water of hydration the CAS number I found was 16774-21-3
