dbowie SG Can any kind soul tell me the effects of heating them ? By the order of PSCMAZILCS. Thanks.
teraexa SG Group 2 nitrates when heated, gives you the metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. Group 1 nitrates when heated, gives you the metal nitrite (aka MNO2) and the oxygen.
wishboy SG Following the reactivity series of metals, K Na Ca Mg Al Zn Fe Pb H (marker) Cu Hg Ag Pt Heating metal nitrates from Potassium to Sodium Results: Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal Nitrite (s) + Oxygen (g) Heating metal nitrates from Calcium to Copper Results: Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal Oxide (s) + Nitrogen Dioxide (g) + Oxygen (g) Heating metal nitrates from Mercury to Platinum Results: Metal Nitrate (s) ------> Metal (s) + Nitrogen (g) + Oxygen (g) Nitrite = NO2 (s) Nitrogen Dioxide = NO2 (g) Nitrogen = N2 (g) Oxygen = O2 (g)
