  2. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

    Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula NH 4 NO 3. ... Ammonium nitrate begins decomposition after melting, releasing NO x, HNO 3, NH 3 and H 2 O.

  3. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

    HNO 3 + 2 H 2 SO 4 ⇌ [NO 2] + + [H 3 O] + + 2 HSO − 4; Equilibrium constant: K ≈ 22. The nitronium ion, [NO 2] +, is the active reagent in aromatic nitration reactions. Since nitric acid has both acidic and basic properties, it can undergo an autoprotolysis reaction, similar to the self-ionization of water: 2 HNO 3 ⇌ [NO 2] + + NO − 3 ...

  4. Ceric ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceric_ammonium_nitrate

    The anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− is generated by dissolving Ce 2 O 3 in hot and concentrated nitric acid (HNO 3). [2] The salt consists of the hexanitratocerate(IV) anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− and a pair of ammonium cations NH + 4. The ammonium ions are not involved in the oxidising reactions of this salt.

  5. Nitrogen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_compounds

    Nitrous acid (HNO 2) is not known as a pure compound, but is a common component in gaseous equilibria and is an important aqueous reagent: its aqueous solutions may be made from acidifying cool aqueous nitrite (NO − 2, bent) solutions, although already at room temperature disproportionation to nitrate and nitric oxide is

  6. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  7. Nitrous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_acid

    Nitrous acid (molecular formula H N O 2) is a weak and monoprotic acid known only in solution, in the gas phase, and in the form of nitrite (NO − 2) salts. [3] It was discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who called it "phlogisticated acid of niter".

  8. Sodium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrate

    2 HNO 3 + Na 2 CO 3 → 2 NaNO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2 HNO 3 + NaHCO 3 → NaNO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2. or also by neutralizing it with sodium hydroxide (however, this reaction is very exothermic): HNO 3 + NaOH → NaNO 3 + H 2 O. or by mixing stoichiometric amounts of ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate: NH 4 NO 3 ...

  9. Anammox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anammox

    A maximum ammonium removal rate of 0.4 kg N/m 3 /d was achieved. It was shown that for every mole of ammonium consumed, 0.6 mol of nitrate was required, resulting in the formation of 0.8 mol of N 2 gas. In 1995, the biological nature of anammox was identified. [27] Labeling experiments with 15 NH + 4 in combination with 14 NO − 3 showed that ...
