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.
Nitrogen enters the ocean through precipitation, runoff, or as N 2 from the atmosphere. Nitrogen cannot be utilized by phytoplankton as N 2 so it must undergo nitrogen fixation which is performed predominantly by cyanobacteria. [82] Without supplies of fixed nitrogen entering the marine cycle, the fixed nitrogen would be used up in about 2000 ...
2 HNO 3 + Na 2 CO 3 → 2 NaNO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2 HNO 3 + NaHCO 3 → NaNO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2. or also by neutralizing it with sodium hydroxide (however, this reaction is very exothermic): HNO 3 + NaOH → NaNO 3 + H 2 O. or by mixing stoichiometric amounts of ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate: NH 4 NO 3 ...
The amount of nitrogen in a chemical substance can be determined by the Kjeldahl method. [21] In particular, nitrogen is an essential component of nucleic acids, amino acids and thus proteins, and the energy-carrying molecule adenosine triphosphate and is thus vital to all life on Earth. [20]
Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula K N O 3.It is a potassium salt of nitric acid.This salt consists of potassium cations K + and nitrate anions NO − 3, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate.
If the hydration energy is greater than the lattice energy, then the enthalpy of solution is negative (heat is released), otherwise it is positive (heat is absorbed). [3]The hydration energy should not be confused with solvation energy, which is the change in Gibbs free energy (not enthalpy) as solute in the gaseous state is dissolved. [4]
Microorganisms preferentially consume oxygen in nitrate over phosphate leading to deeper oceanic waters having an N:P ratio of less than 16:1. From there, the ocean's currents upwell the nutrients to the surface where phytoplankton will consume the excess Phosphorus and maintain a N:P ratio of 16:1 by consuming N 2 via nitrogen fixation.

Nickel hydrazine nitrate (NHN), (chemical formula: [Ni(N 2 H 4) 3](NO 3) 2 is an energetic material having explosive properties in between that of primary explosive and a secondary explosive. [1] It is a salt of a coordination compound of nickel with a reaction equation of 3N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O + Ni(NO 3 ) 2 →〔Ni(N 2 H 4 ) 3 〕(NO 3 ) 2 ＋ 3H ...
