What is the formula for chromium for ammonium nitrate?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for.... ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3 and chromium by itself is Cr..... i hope this helped


Why ammonium nitrate is not use in prepartion of ammonia?

Ammonium nitrate cannot be used directly in the preparation of ammonia because it is already a salt that contains both ammonium ((NH_4^+)) and nitrate ((NO_3^-)) ions. To produce ammonia, you need a source of nitrogen, hydrogen, or both that can react to form ammonia through processes like Haber-Bosch synthesis. Ammonium nitrate is typically used as a nitrogen fertilizer or in explosives, but not in the direct production of ammonia.


What is the equation for heating ammonium nitrate?

The heat for this reaction is called the heat of solution for ammonium nitrate. When the reaction is finished, the system contains two substances, the calorimeter itself and the aqueous solution, and there is a heat associated with each component.


Ammonium nitrate polarity?

It is considered an Ionic bond. Ammonium donates an electron and nitrate accepts an electron. By itself, ammonium ion is a molecular compound and the nitrate ion is a molecular compound, but when combined they are considered to be ionic. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.


Is ammonium Base?

Ammonium is a compound, specifically the positively charged polyatomic ion NH4+. It is commonly found in salts such as ammonium chloride and ammonium nitrate. While some compounds containing ammonium ions can act as weak bases, ammonium itself is not considered a base.


What difference between ammonia and ammonium?

Ammonia is a compound with the formula NH3, it is a weak base. Ammonium is a polyatomic ion with the formula NH4+. The ammonium ion is formed when ammonia reacts with an acid and is itself mildly acidic. because it is positively charged is is not found on its own but accompanied by a negative ion such as in ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3.


Can ammonium nitrate freeze a thing?

Ammonium nitrate can freeze water on contact. The best example of this is in instant ice packs - water and ammonium nitrate are contained in separate "tubes" within the package. When broken, the chemicals mix and the water freezes within seconds.


Ammonium nitrate fertilize does it rust metals?

YES! The AN is veriry corrosive. AN should always be stored away from moisture and oxidizing materials (contain carbon). This combination will provide an ignition source for the AN so I can burn. Fumes can be extremely irritating and toxic.


What does ammonium nitrate smell like?

A distinct pungent odor that lingers and penetrates nearly everything. Will smell somewhat of traditional ammonia with a slight burning plastic smell


Is nitrate a solid liquid or gas?

Nitrate is a negative ion (anion), NO3-. It does not exist in isolation, but must be part of a compound with a positive ion (cation). Examples of nitrate salts are sodium nitrate, NaNO3-, magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2 and ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3. These salts are solid at room temperature and water soluble. (When nitric acid, HNO3, dissolves in water the solution also contains the nitrate ion as well as hydrogen ions)


When adding silver nitrate to salt water does it undergone a chemical or a physical change?

anytime any elements/mixtures are placed together it is a chemical change... a physical change is if the silver nitrate is by itself and changed it physical appearance but is the same element (like if a human changes there clothes)


What type of bonding is in lead nitrate?

Lead nitrate contains both ionic and covalent bonding. The lead (Pb) cation forms ionic bonds with the nitrate (NO3-) anion due to the transfer of electrons, while the nitrate anion exhibits covalent bonding within the polyatomic ion itself.
