Zinc nitrate is usually prepared by dissolving zinc metal, zinc oxide, or related materials in nitric acid: Zn + 2 HNO 3 → Zn(NO 3) 2 + H 2 ZnO + 2 HNO 3 → Zn(NO 3) 2 + H 2 O. These reactions are accompanied by the hydration of the zinc nitrate. The anhydrous salt arises by the reaction of anhydrous zinc chloride with nitrogen dioxide: [1]
The white "special notice" area can contain several symbols. The following symbols are defined by the NFPA 704 standard. OX: Oxidizer, allows chemicals to burn without an air supply (e.g., potassium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide). W: Reacts with water in an unusual or dangerous manner (e.g., caesium, sodium, diborane ...

ISO 7010 is an International Organization for Standardization technical standard for graphical hazard symbols on hazard and safety signs, including those indicating emergency exits. It uses colours and principles set out in ISO 3864 for these symbols, and is intended to provide "safety information that relies as little as possible on the use of ...
Strong acids/bases (nitric acid, sodium hydroxide), calcium oxide, anhydrous zinc chloride can be corrosive GHS05: Corrosive Explosives, divisions 1.5, 1.6; Flammable gases, category 2; Self-reactive substances and mixtures, type G (see HAZMAT Class 4 Flammable solids) Organic peroxides, type G; no pictogram required
The symbol was adopted as a standard in the US by ANSI in 1969. [6] [8] It was first documented as an international symbol in 1963 in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recommendation R.361. [9] In 1974, after approval by national standards bodies, the symbol became an international standard as ISO 361 Basic ionizing radiation ...
Cadmia/tuttia/tutty – probably zinc carbonate. Calamine – zinc carbonate. Calomel/horn quicksilver/horn mercury – mercury(I) chloride, a very poisonous purgative formed by subliming a mixture of mercuric chloride and metallic mercury, triturated in a mortar and heated in an iron pot. The crust formed on the lid was ground to powder and ...
