high nitrates

Zinc nitrate is prepared by dissolving zinc, or its oxide, hydroxide or carbonate salt in dilute nitric acid. Zinc nitrate is a colorless solid, very deliquescent and highly soluble in water. When heated it decomposes as follows..

Copper nitrate is prepared by dissolving copper, or its oxide or carbonate salt in nitric acid. Copper nitrate is a blue deliquescent crystalline solid, containing three molecules of water of crystallisation. It is highly soluble in water and in alcohol. When heated i..

Ammonium nitrate is prepared by treating ammonia or ammonium hydroxide with nitric acid. It is a colorless crystalline solid, very highly soluble in water. When heated, it first melts and then decomposes as follows:..

Magnesium nitrate is prepared by treating magnesium, or its oxide or hydroxide or carbonate salt with dilute nitric acid. It is a colorless, deliquescent solid, highly soluble in water. When heated it decomposes to form the oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen..

The common name of sodium nitrate is "Chile salt Petre". It is found in large quantity in Chile in South America. It can be prepared by treating the oxide, hydroxide, carbonate or hydrogen carbonate salts of sodium with nitric acid. It is a colorless crystalline solid, highly s..

i) Vapour phase nitration of alkanes - Hydrocarbons when heated with forming nitric acid at 693 - 793 K, are converted to nitro alkenes. Nitration of methane end lower members can be carried out by this nitration techniqu..

Sources of Oxygen - Oxygen is the most abundant of all elements in the crust of the earth. It is present in sand and rocks in the form of silicon dioxide, and in most of the common compounds like oxides, carbonates, nitrates, etc. It is also present in air, water and land as organic compo..

Laboratory Preparation of Oxygen - Any of the above mentioned methods could be used to prepare oxygen in the laboratory. Mercuric and silver oxides are not used for the preparation of oxygen, as they are very expensive. For the laboratory preparation of oxygen from any of the compounds like lead di..

Water bodies are being constantly polluted by dumping of sewage which includes organic matter and by the runoff from the agricultural fields that contains fertilisers. Pollutants like sewage, organic wastes and fertilisers contain good amount of inorganic nutrients like nitrates and phos..
