What would calcium nitrate react with?
francium ceasium Potassium Sodium Lithium These metals could react with calcium nitrate in a displacement reaction as they are more reactive. e.g. pottasium + calcium nitrate -> calcium + pottasium nitrate.
What is the name of the compound Ca(NO2)2?
Calcium Chlorite (used in domestic Swimming Pools)
Is calcium nitrate a crystalline solid?
Yes, calcium nitrate is an ionic crystalline salt of calcium normally encountered as the tetrahydrate, Ca(NO3)2.4H2O
What is calcium nitrate used for?
Calcium nitrate is used as a nitrogenous fertilizer, as a corrosive inhibitor in diesel fuels and as a component in explosives.
Is The compound calcium nitrate is composed of calcium cations and nitrate anions?
Yes. Ca(NO3)2=Ca2++2NO3-
Is ammonium nitrate an oxidizer?
yes
What is the best oxidizer for black powder?
Potassium nitrate is the oxidizer used in black powder. Although other oxidizers are stronger(potassium perchlorate for example), it must not be replaced by them. If the term used is black powder, potassium nitrate is the only oxidizer that ought to be used.
Would magnesium react with calcium nitrate?
no, it wouldn't calcium is above magnesium in the reactivity series which means that magnesium can't oxidize calcium. calcium can oxidize magnesium so calcium would react with magnesium nitrate with formation of metallic magnesium and calciumnitrate.
What is Ammonium nitrate validity as explosive?
Ammonium nitrate is not explosive, it is an effective oxidizer. Mix it with a fuel and you have explosive.
Is calcium nitrate a metal?
No. Calcium nitrate is an ionically bonded salt.
How do you get potassium nitrate out of a mixture with calcium carbonate?
calcium carbonate+ nitric acid. a strong acid would replace a weaker acid in most ionic compounds, so you would produce calcium nitrate and carbon dioxide. well, being that nitric acid is widely UNAVAILABLE to most people, it is easy to find potassium or sodium nitrate. if you are going specifically for calcium nitrate you can double displace calcium carbonate with potassium or sodium nitrate resulting in potassium or sodium carbonate and (aq) calcium nitrate. the potassium or sodium carbonate will probably precipitate out much quicker than the nitrate depending on how exact your equation for displacement is. and you should be left with (aq) calcium nitrate. boil off the water and preferably recrystallize for purity. if youre using calcium carbonate just to get any form of nitrate, i recommend simply buying potassium nitrate. if it is not assessable in your area and are trying to get an oxidizer ( i assume thats why you are trying to make a nitrate) i recommend going with a chlorate or perchlorate, these are easier to make at home through electrolysis.
What would calcium nitrate react with?
francium ceasium Potassium Sodium Lithium These metals could react with calcium nitrate in a displacement reaction as they are more reactive. e.g. pottasium + calcium nitrate -> calcium + pottasium nitrate.
How would you distinguish between zinc nitrate and calcium nitrate?
Calcium nitride is Ca3N2 and is basic. Calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2 and is neutral.
Is postassium nitrate compound a good oxidizing agent?
It is a strong oxidizer, yes.
Is calcium nitrate and element or a compound?
Calcium nitrate is a compound: Ca(NO3)2.
What is the chemical formula calcium nitrate?
The chemical formula of calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2.
Formula for anhydrous calcium nitrate?
The formula for anhydrous calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2.
