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.
The compound is a salt with separated hydroxyammonium and nitrate ions. [2] Hydroxylammonium nitrate is unstable because it contains both a reducing agent (hydroxylammonium cation) and an oxidizer , [3] the situation being analogous to ammonium nitrate. It is usually handled as an aqueous solution with small amount of nitric acid as a stabilizer.
A solution of nitric acid, water and alcohol, nital, is used for etching metals to reveal the microstructure. ISO 14104 is one of the standards detailing this well known procedure. [45] Nitric acid is used either in combination with hydrochloric acid or alone to clean glass cover slips and glass slides for high-end microscopy applications. [46]
Uranyl nitrate is a water-soluble yellow uranium salt with the formula UO 2 (NO 3) 2 · n H 2 O. The hexa-, tri-, and dihydrates are known. [3] The compound is mainly of interest because it is an intermediate in the preparation of nuclear fuels. In the nuclear industry, it is commonly referred to as yellow salt.
Although it is the salt formed by neutralizing guanidine with nitric acid, guanidine nitrate is produced industrially by the reaction of dicyandiamide (or calcium salt) and ammonium nitrate. [2] It has been used as a monopropellant in the Jetex engine for model airplanes. It is attractive because it has a high gas output and low flame temperature.
