  2. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

    The dioxide then disproportionates in water to nitric acid and the nitric oxide feedstock: 3 NO 2 + H 2 O → 2 HNO 3 + NO. The net reaction is maximal oxidation of ammonia: NH 3 + 2 O 2 → HNO 3 + H 2 O. Dissolved nitrogen oxides are either stripped (in the case of white fuming nitric acid) or remain in solution to form red fuming nitric acid.

  3. Dinitrogen pentoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_pentoxide

    Dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid HNO 3. Thus, dinitrogen pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid: [11] N 2 O 5 + H 2 O → 2 HNO 3. Solutions of dinitrogen pentoxide in nitric acid can be seen as nitric acid with more than 100% concentration.

  4. Methyl nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_nitrate

    It can be produced by the condensation of nitric acid and methanol: [3] CH 3 OH + HNO 3 → CH 3 NO 3 + H 2 O. A newer method uses methyl iodide and silver nitrate: [4] CH 3 I + AgNO 3 → CH 3 NO 3 + AgI. Methyl nitrate can be produced on a laboratory or industrial scale either through the distillation of a mixture of methanol and nitric acid ...

    2 HNO 3 ⇌ H 2 NO + 3 + NO − 3 ⇌ H 2 O + [NO 2] + + [NO 3] −. Two hydrates, HNO 3 ·H 2 O and HNO 3 ·3H 2 O, are known that can be crystallised. It is a strong acid and concentrated solutions are strong oxidising agents, though gold, platinum, rhodium, and iridium are immune to attack.

  6. Birkeland–Eyde process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland–Eyde_process

    It is a multi-step nitrogen fixation reaction that uses electrical arcs to react atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) with oxygen (O 2), ultimately producing nitric acid (HNO 3) with water. [1] The resultant nitric acid was then used as a source of nitrate (NO 3 −) in the reaction + + + which may take place in the presence of water or another proton ...

  7. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    However, in contrast to red fuming nitric acid (HNO 3 /N 2 O 4), or concentrated nitric acid (HNO 3), nitrate dissolved in aqueous solution at neutral or high pH is only a weak oxidizing agent and is stable under sterile, or aseptic, conditions, in the absence of microorganisms. To increase its oxidation power, acidic conditions and high ...

  8. Silver nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate

    The stoichiometry of the reaction depends upon the concentration of nitric acid used. 3 Ag + 4 HNO 3 (cold and diluted) → 3 AgNO 3 + 2 H 2 O + NO Ag + 2 HNO 3 (hot and concentrated) → AgNO 3 + H 2 O + NO 2. The structure of silver nitrate has been examined by X-ray crystallography several times. In the common orthorhombic form stable at ...

  9. Nitrous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_acid

    HNO 2 + [N 2 H 5] + → HN 3 + H 2 O + H 3 O + HNO 2 + HN 3 → N 2 O + N 2 + H 2 O. Oxidation by nitrous acid has a kinetic control over thermodynamic control, this is best illustrated that dilute nitrous acid is able to oxidize I − to I 2, but dilute nitric acid cannot. I 2 + 2 e − ⇌ 2 I − E o = +0.54 V NO − 3 + 3 H + + 2 e − ⇌ ...
