Pyrrhotite, an example of a non-stoichiometric inorganic compound, with formula Fe 1−x S (x = 0 to 0.2). The monosulfides of the transition metals are often nonstoichiometric. Best known perhaps is nominally iron(II) sulfide (the mineral pyrrhotite) with a composition Fe 1−x S (x = 0 to 0.2).
Liquid phase of MON contains no nitric oxide. [2] N 2 O 4 ⇌ 2NO 2. NO 2 + NO ⇌ N 2 O 3. A broad range of compositions is available, and can be denoted as MONi, where i represents the percentage of nitric oxide in the mixture (e.g. MON3 contains 3% nitric oxide, MON25 25% nitric oxide). An upper limit is MON40 (40% by weight).
Other metal oxides can be used, such as chromium oxide, to generate the given metal in its elemental form. For example, a copper thermite reaction using copper oxide and elemental aluminum can be used for creating electric joints in a process called cadwelding, that produces elemental copper (it may react violently): 3 CuO + 2 Al → 3 Cu + Al ...
Although most metal oxides are crystalline solids, many non-metal oxides are molecules. Examples of molecular oxides are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. All simple oxides of nitrogen are molecular, e.g., NO, N 2 O, NO 2 and N 2 O 4. Phosphorus pentoxide is a more complex molecular oxide with a deceptive name, the real formula being P 4 O 10.
Nickel(II) oxide is the chemical compound with the formula NiO. It is the principal oxide of nickel. [4] It is classified as a basic metal oxide. Several million kilograms are produced annually of varying quality, mainly as an intermediate in the production of nickel alloys. [5] The mineralogical form of NiO, bunsenite, is very rare.
Gas blending is the process of mixing gases for a specific purpose where the composition of the resulting mixture is defined, and therefore, controlled. A wide range of applications include scientific and industrial processes, food production and storage and breathing gases.
Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide). It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding .
Various anhydrous transition metal nitrate complexes can be prepared from N 2 O 4 and base metal. [24] 2 N 2 O 4 + M → 2 NO + M(NO 3) 2. where M = Cu, Zn, or Sn. If metal nitrates are prepared from N 2 O 4 in completely anhydrous conditions, a range of covalent metal nitrates can be formed with many transition metals. This is because there is ...
