Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as red fuming nitric acid at concentrations above 86%, or white fuming nitric acid at concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is the primary reagent used for nitration – the addition of a nitro group, typically to an organic molecule.
Peroxynitrous acid (HNO 3) is a reactive nitrogen species (RNS). It is the conjugate acid of peroxynitrite (ONOO −).It has a pK a of approximately 6.8. It is formed in vivo from the diffusion-controlled reaction of nitrogen monoxide (ON •) and superoxide (O •−
Commonly used mineral acids are sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO 3); these are also known as bench acids. [1] Mineral acids range from superacids (such as perchloric acid) to very weak ones (such as boric acid). Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.
Some traditional names for common carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid) are in such widespread use that they are retained in IUPAC nomenclature, [7] though systematic names like ethanoic acid are also used. Carboxylic acids attached to a benzene ring are structural analogs of benzoic acid (Ph−COOH) and are named as one of its derivatives ...
In chemistry, azide (/ ˈ eɪ z aɪ d /, AY-zyd) is a linear, polyatomic anion with the formula N − 3 and structure − N=N + =N −. It is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid HN 3. Organic azides are organic compounds with the formula RN 3, containing the azide functional group. [1] The dominant application of azides is as a propellant in ...
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 ...
The names "caffeine" and "3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione" both signify the same chemical compound.The systematic name encodes the structure and composition of the caffeine molecule in some detail, and provides an unambiguous reference to this compound, whereas the name "caffeine" simply names it.
The nitronium ion, [N O 2] +, is a cation.It is an onium ion because its nitrogen atom has +1 charge, similar to ammonium ion [NH 4] +.It is created by the removal of an electron from the paramagnetic nitrogen dioxide molecule NO 2, or the protonation of nitric acid HNO 3 (with removal of H 2 O).
