Mr.Chockuls Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You should mix something with nitric acid, but that is'nt the final product... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 "You should mix something with nitric acid" Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Chockuls Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 you can get some NOx as sub-product. NH3OH + HNO3 = NH4NO3 + H2O While it's forming, nitrous oxide will appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 NH3 is ammonia, NH2OH is hydroxylamine NH4OH doesn't really exist, but it would be ammonium hydroxide; NH3OH is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Chockuls Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 so, it's NH3NO3? http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/10822098/Ammonia_Nitrate_NH4NO3.html i knew it was NH4NO3, whatever, if you mix ammonium hydroxide with hydrogen nitrate you can get a little of NOx, right?

PauloChem Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 mmonium nitrate is also used in instant cold packs.[1] In this use, ammonium nitrate is mixed with water in an endothermic reaction, which absorbs 25.69 kilojoules of heat per mole of reactant. Products of ammonium nitrate reactions are used in airbags. When sodium azide (NaN3) is used in airbags, it decomposes to Na (s) and N2 (g), the sodium forms a fine dust composed of sodium salts, which is not preferred by the airbag producers. Ammonium nitrate is used in the treatment of some titanium ores. Ammonium nitrate is used in the preparation of nitrous oxide (N2O): NH4NO3(aq) -> N2O(g) + 2H2O(l) Ammonium nitrate is used in survival kits mixed with zinc dust and ammonium chloride because it will ignite on contact with water. Ammonium nitrate can be used to make anhydrous ammonia, a chemical often used in the production of methamphetamine. (thing you shouldn't mess with) Ok that should make sense to you. But do a little more research 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkshade Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 NH3OH is nonsense.I agree. It doesn't even fit with oxidation numbers [math](NH_3OH)^{-2}[/math]. edit: wow, great post paulo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloChem Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks Darkshade, its is really important for people to use every safety precaution before doing anything chemistry related. You have a million experiments but only one life (at least this one). So don't be stupid guys and do an experiment that could kill you. Do your research.
