  2. Nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrite

    The nitrite ion has the chemical formula NO − 2. Nitrite (mostly sodium nitrite) is widely used throughout chemical and pharmaceutical industries. [1] The nitrite anion is a pervasive intermediate in the nitrogen cycle in nature. The name nitrite also refers to organic compounds having the –ONO group, which are esters of nitrous acid.

  3. Potassium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrite

    Potassium nitrite (distinct from potassium nitrate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula K N O 2. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrite ions NO 2 −, which forms a white or slightly yellow, hygroscopic crystalline powder that is soluble in water. [1] It is a strong oxidizer and may accelerate the combustion of ...

  4. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  5. Griess test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griess_test

    The Griess test is an analytical chemistry test which detects the presence of nitrite ion in solution. One of its most important uses is the determination of nitrite in drinking water . The Griess diazotization reaction, on which the Griess reagent relies, was first described in 1858 by Peter Griess .

  6. Nitrate nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_nitrite

    A nitrate nitrite, or nitrite nitrate, is a coordination complex or other chemical compound that contains both nitrite (NO − 2) and nitrate (NO − 3) anions. They are mixed-anion compounds, and they are mixed-valence compounds. Some have third anions. Many nitrite nitrate compounds are coordination complexes of cobalt.

  7. Sodium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrite

    The nitrosonium ion formed in acidic nitrite solutions is commonly [74] [75] mislabeled nitrous anhydride, an unstable nitrogen oxide that cannot exist in vitro. [76] Ingesting nitrite under conditions that result in endogenous nitrosation has been classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by International Agency for Research on Cancer ...

  8. Sodium hyponitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hyponitrite

    Sodium hyponitrite is a solid ionic compound with formula Na 2 N 2 O 2 or (Na +) 2 [ON=NO] 2−. [1]There are cis and trans forms of the hyponitrite ion N 2 O 2− 2.The trans form is more common, but the cis form can be obtained too, and it is more reactive than the trans form.

  9. Hyponitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponitrite

    In chemistry, hyponitrite may refer to the anion N 2 O 2− 2 ([ON=NO] 2−), or to any ionic compound that contains it. In organic chemistry, it may also refer to the group −O−N=N−O−, or any organic compound with the generic formula R 1 −O−N=N−O−R 2, where R 1 and R 2 are organic groups. [1]
