Invader_Gir Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 So...can anything be done with sodium nitrite? And I dont mean drugs 'n stuff. I mean can it be used to make fun explosions and such. Also, could it substitute for NaNO3 when making KNO3? If so, would the resulting KNO2 be similar to KNO3. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 not really, and it`s useless as a pyro oxidiser, although it`s a great Ion donor for a bright Yellow color. the only other use is as an intermediary in a H.E synth that I`ll not share.

5614 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Incompatibilities: Reacts with acids to emit toxic fumes of nitrogen dioxide. Contact with the following may cause an explosion: barium rhodanide, boron phosphide, cyanides, sodium thiosulfate, sodium hypophosphite, sulfur plus charcoal, powdered aluminum and aluminum oxide. Fibrous organic material such as jute, wood, and similar cellulosic materials can become highly combustible by nitrate impregnation. Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, ignition sources, shock, friction, incompatibles. taken from: http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/s4442.htm (#10 - Stability and Reactivity) So maybe you could blow it up or something!

budullewraagh Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 actually, you may want to react it with an acid to make nitrogen dioxide, as you could probably collect it and make some nitric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Nitrites suck. Inside your body, they can turn into nitros... nitra... whatevers, that are very potential carcinogens. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tian_07 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 ok... mix it in proportion to this mixture: 75 NaNO3 15 C (charcoal) (Measured in moles i believe) 10 S (sulfur) make sure all of the components are pretty damn well powdered... and do not grind dis while its mixed... because it will likely explode... this is sort of mealpowder... u can refine it further to make a counterpart of black powder i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invader_Gir Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Thanks for the info everyone...tho i guess NaNO2 is pretty much useless for pyrotechnics... Thanks anyways, and does anyone know of a chem supply store that sells to minors in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashsphere Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Thanks anyways, and does anyone know of a chem supply store that sells to minors in the US? I yet to find one that sells to people of legal age unless they have permits, or a school etc unless your buying things that have no msds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 the only H.E that uses sodium nitrITE is Diazodinitrophenol (DDNP or DINOL). I`m not aware of any others, and you`de never get your hands on the rest of the ingredients to make it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 "I`m not aware of any others, and you`de never get your hands on the rest of the ingredients to make it anyway :)" Such as? I find DDNP to be a moderate difficulty synth. Or perhaps we shouldn't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 such as, it`s easy to make if you know what you`re doing and have the chems. Chems that most folk don`t have or can`t buy without liscence my post was for info only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 "Chems that most folk don`t have or can`t buy without liscence :)" It's sad how some high explosives can be synthed even without those. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
