Lithium nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula LiNO 3. It is the lithium salt of nitric acid (an alkali metal nitrate ). The salt is deliquescent , absorbing water to form the hydrated form, lithium nitrate trihydrate.
Lithium nitrite is the lithium salt of nitrous acid, with formula LiNO 2. This compound is hygroscopic and very soluble in water. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in mortar. [4] It is also used in the production of explosives, due to its ability to nitrosate ketones under certain conditions. [5]
The nitrate ion. Alkali metal nitrates are chemical compounds consisting of an alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium) and the nitrate ion. Only two are of major commercial value, the sodium and potassium salts. [1] They are white, water-soluble salts with melting points ranging from 255 °C (LiNO 3) to 414 °C (CsNO
Solutions obtained by dissolution of lithium in liquid ammonia. The solution at the top has a dark blue color and the lower one a golden color. The colors are characteristic of solvated electrons at electronically insulating and metallic concentrations, respectively. A lithium–ammonia solution at −60 °C is saturated at about 15 mol% metal ...
Silver(I) oxide produced by reacting lithium hydroxide with a very dilute silver nitrate solution. Silver oxide can be prepared by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and an alkali hydroxide. [8] [9] This reaction does not afford appreciable amounts of silver hydroxide due to the favorable energetics for the following reaction: [10]
In this method, transition metal precursors are dissolved in a nitrate or acetate solution, then combined with a lithium nitrate or lithium acetate and citric acid solution. This mixture is stirred and heated to about 80 °C under basic conditions until a viscous gel forms. The gel is dried at around 120 °C and calcined twice, once at 450 °C ...
Lithium nitride is prepared by direct reaction of elemental lithium with nitrogen gas: [2] 6 Li + N 2 → 2 Li 3 N. Instead of burning lithium metal in an atmosphere of nitrogen, a solution of lithium in liquid sodium metal can be treated with N 2. Lithium nitride must be protected from moisture as it reacts violently with water to produce ammonia:
A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.
