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]
Zinc is a strong reducing agent with a standard redox potential of −0.76 V. Pure zinc tarnishes rapidly in air, rapidly forming a passive layer. The composition of this layer can be complex, but one constituent is probably basic zinc carbonate, Zn 5 (OH) 6 CO 3. [8] The reaction of zinc with water is slowed by this passive layer.
A bath of ice and water will maintain a temperature 0 °C, since the melting point of water is 0 °C. However, adding a salt such as sodium chloride will lower the temperature through the property of freezing-point depression. Although the exact temperature can be hard to control, the weight ratio of salt to ice influences the temperature:
Zinc nitride reacts violently with water to form ammonia and zinc oxide. [3] [4] Zn 3 N 2 + 3 H 2 O → 3 ZnO + 2 NH 3. Zinc nitride reacts with lithium (produced in an electrochemical cell) by insertion. The initial reaction is the irreversible conversion into LiZn in a matrix of beta-Li 3 N. These products then can be converted reversibly and ...
Magnesium has a mild reaction with cold water. The reaction is short-lived because the magnesium hydroxide layer formed on the magnesium is almost insoluble in water and prevents further reaction. Mg(s) + 2H 2 O(l) Mg(OH) 2 (s) + H 2 (g) [11] A metal reacting with cold water will produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
With radiation equilibrium temperatures of 40–50 K, [178] the objects in the Kuiper Belt are expected to have amorphous water ice. While water ice has been observed on several objects, [179] [180] the extreme faintness of these objects makes it difficult to determine the structure of the ices. The signatures of crystalline water ice was ...
The Reformatsky reaction (sometimes transliterated as Reformatskii reaction) is an organic reaction which condenses aldehydes or ketones with α-halo esters using metallic zinc to form β-hydroxy-esters: [1] [2] The Reformatsky reaction. The organozinc reagent, also called a 'Reformatsky enolate', is prepared by treating an alpha-halo ester ...
In 1935, Linus Pauling used the ice rules to calculate the residual entropy (zero temperature entropy) of ice I h. [3] For this (and other) reasons the rules are sometimes mis-attributed and referred to as "Pauling's ice rules" (not to be confused with Pauling's rules for ionic crystals). A nice figure of the resulting structure can be found in ...
