  2. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    Nitrate is a polyatomic ion with the chemical formula NO − 3. Salts containing this ion are called nitrates. Nitrates are common components of fertilizers and explosives. [1] Almost all inorganic nitrates are soluble in water. An example of an insoluble nitrate is bismuth oxynitrate.

  3. Sodium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrate

    Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula Na N O 3. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter (large deposits of which were historically mined in Chile) [4] [5] to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. The mineral form is also known as nitratine, nitratite or soda niter.

  4. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

    Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula NH 4 NO 3. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate . It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, but does not form hydrates .

  5. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

    Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula K N O 3. It is a potassium salt of nitric acid . This salt consists of potassium cations K + and nitrate anions NO − 3 , and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate .

  6. Silver nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate

    Silver nitrate is an inorganic compound with chemical formula AgNO 3 . It is a versatile precursor to many other silver compounds, such as those used in photography .

  7. Copper(II) nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_nitrate

    Copper nitrate, in combination with acetic anhydride, is an effective reagent for nitration of aromatic compounds, known as the Menke nitration. [17] Hydrated copper nitrate adsorbed onto clay affords a reagent called "Claycop". The resulting blue-colored clay is used as a slurry, for example for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides.

  8. Calcium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_nitrate

    Calcium nitrate is a very common coagulant in latex production, especially in dipping processes. Dissolved calcium nitrate is a part of the dipping bath solution. The warm former is dipped into the coagulation liquid and a thin film of the dipping liquid remains on the former.

  9. Manganese(II) nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese(II)_nitrate

    Manganese(II) nitrate refers to the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO 3) 2 ·(H 2 O) n.These compounds are nitrate salts containing varying amounts of water. A common derivative is the tetrahydrate, Mn(NO 3) 2 ·4H 2 O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound.
