  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. Ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium

    Ammonium is a modified form of ammonia that has an extra hydrogen atom. It is a positively charged molecular ion with the chemical formula NH + 4 or [NH 4] +.It is formed by the addition of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) to ammonia (NH 3).

  8. Ammonium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrite

    Ammonium nitrite is a chemical compound with the chemical formula [NH 4]NO 2. It is the ammonium salt of nitrous acid. It is composed of ammonium cations [NH 4] + and nitrite anions NO − 2. It is not used in pure isolated form since it is highly unstable and decomposes into water and nitrogen, even at room temperature.

    HNO 2 ⇌ H + + NO − 2; pK a ≈ 3.3 at 18 °C [3] Nitrous acid is also highly unstable, tending to disproportionate: 3 HNO 2 (aq) ⇌ H 3 O + + NO − 3 + 2 NO. This reaction is slow at 0 °C. [2] Addition of acid to a solution of a nitrite in the presence of a reducing agent, such as iron(II), is a way to make nitric oxide (NO) in the ...
