  2. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

    Potassium nitrate can be made by combining ammonium nitrate and potassium hydroxide. NH 4 NO 3 + KOH → NH 3 + KNO 3 + H 2 O. An alternative way of producing potassium nitrate without a by-product of ammonia is to combine ammonium nitrate, found in instant ice packs, [30] and potassium chloride, easily obtained as a sodium-free salt substitute.

  5. Potassium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrite

    Potassium nitrite (distinct from potassium nitrate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula K N O 2. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrite ions NO 2 −, which forms a white or slightly yellow, hygroscopic crystalline powder that is soluble in water. [1] It is a strong oxidizer and may accelerate the combustion of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    Explosive decomposition of organo nitro compounds are redox reactions, wherein both the oxidant (nitro group) and the fuel (hydrocarbon substituent) are bound within the same molecule. The explosion process generates heat by forming highly stable products including molecular nitrogen (N 2), carbon dioxide, and water. The explosive power of this ...

    Hydrates are ionic compounds that have absorbed water. They are named as the ionic compound followed by a numerical prefix and -hydrate. The numerical prefixes used are listed below (see IUPAC numerical multiplier): mono-di-tri-tetra-penta-hexa-hepta-octa-nona-deca-For example, CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O is "copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate".
