Is nitrate an acid or a base?

Lead Nitrate is the salt of a strong acid (nitric acid) and a weak base (lead (II) or lead (IV) hydroxide). Salts like these are somewhat acidic so lead nitrate (regardless of the oxidation state of lead) is an acid.


What mass of lithium nitrate would have to be dissolved in 30.0 g of water in order to make an 18.0 percent solution?

To make an 18.0% solution, you would need to add 18.0 g of lithium nitrate per 100 g of solution. This means you require 5.4 g of lithium nitrate for 30.0 g of water.


How much of lead nitrate will be required to prepare 500ppm solution?

To prepare a 500 ppm (parts per million) solution of lead nitrate, you would need to dissolve 500 grams of lead nitrate in 1 million grams (1,000,000 grams) of solution. The specific weight of lead nitrate would depend on its molar mass and density. It is more common to express concentrations in terms of molarity (moles per liter) rather than ppm for making solutions.


What happens when lithium reacts with potassium hydroxide solution?

There will be no reaction between the lithium and the potassium hydroxide. However, since the potassium hydroxide is in solution, the lithium will still react with the water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2Li + H2O --> H2 + LiOH.


What is the strongest oxidizing agent in a solution of nitric acid?

Nitric acid itself is a strong oxidizing agent in solution, primarily due to the presence of the nitrate ion (NO3-). The nitrate ion can easily accept electrons and undergo reduction reactions, making nitric acid a powerful oxidizing agent.

Potassium nitrate was found to have a solubility of 120 g in 100 g of water at 80 °C and 50 g in 100 g of water at 25 °C.50 g of water was heated to 80 °C and solid potassium nitrate added until the solution was just saturated?

The solution was then cooled to 25 °C when solid potassium nitrate separated out to leave a saturated solution. Using the information provided in this question, what is the minimum mass of water that must now be added to the mixture of the solution and the solid in order to make this solid potassium nitrate redissolve at 25 °C?


How can you make potassium chloride precipitate?

You can make potassium chloride precipitate by adding silver nitrate (AgNO3). The chemical equation being AgNO3(aq)+ KCl(aq) = KNO3(aq) + AgCl(s) You know that silver nitrate will form a precipitate as you can see this on a solubility chart.


What if a student is given a container of potassium nitrate crystals in order to determine the exact mass of the potassium nitrate using a triple beam balance he must know the?

The student must know how to properly calibrate and use the triple beam balance to accurately measure the mass of the potassium nitrate crystals. This involves zeroing the balance, adjusting the weights on the beams, and reading the measurements correctly. It is also important to handle the potassium nitrate carefully and avoid any spills or contamination during the process.

How do you get potassium nitrate?

Potassium nitrate or Saltpeter may be used in the salting (pickling of meet foods) but may also be used to make up the critical oxidizing component of gun powder. As such many governments have restriced its public sale due to terrorist threats and it is unlikey to be freely available in our modern world.

Is bat dropping explosive?

Not really. They do, like other types of manure, contain potassium nitrate, and have been mined for the purposes of extracting this material in order to make explosives.

How do you convert lead nitrate to metallic lead?

If you have a solution of Lead nitrate, place some zinc, or iron into it and the metals will displace.Zn(s) + PbNO3(aq) → ZnNO3(aq) + Pb(s)Any metal that is more reactive than lead, such as tin, nickel, iron, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, barium, potassium, lithium. That order is in order from least reactive to most reactive. Note that the more reactive it is the faster and more exothermic (heat produced) the reaction will be. I would personally use aluminum as you can get foil which is thin (large surface area) and much more reactive.


Is the reaction 2KBr - 2K plus Br2 endothermic or exothermic?

The reaction 2KBr → 2K + Br2 is endothermic because heat must be supplied to break the bonds in potassium bromide (KBr) in order to form potassium (K) and bromine gas (Br2).
