5 I understand how the nitrite $\ce {NO2}$ ion can be formed and have a negative charge, but the nitrate $\ce {NO3}$ ion is confusing me. I made some simple drawings to try to explain what I don't understand: Does the "electron from outside" that the oxygen receives, as indicated in the drawing, comes from the nitrogen atom?
Why do bubbles form in the reaction Zn(NO3)2 + Mg→ Mg(NO3)2 + Zn
The given answer combines the two ions produced into a single compound. $$\ce {NH4+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) ->NH4NO3 (aq)}$$ The result of #2 would be reasonable if you had not been told that the reaction was occurring in aqueous solution.
There are two copper blocks sitting in the $\ce{Cu(NO3)2 (aq)}$ solution, a battery is attached onto both of them, providing enough energy to start the reaction. Since solid pieces of copper are
I need a way to prove/show that hydrogen peroxide was decomposed through use of catalyst. I want to ensure that my catalyst: $\ce{Fe(NO3)3}$ or iron(III) nitrate is a catalyst, not a reactant/ cons...
I want to make particular concentration of ferric ions from $\ce{Fe(NO3)3.9H2O}$, and then I found this video It says that we have to add nitric acid to prevent iron from hydrolysis, what does it m...
Copper reacts with nitric acid according to this equation: $$\ce{Cu + 4 HNO3 -> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 NO2 + 2 H2O}$$ This is a redox reaction with copper getting oxidized, and nitrogen getting reduced...
For the nitrate ion (NO3-), there is one double bond that leads to resonance amongst all three of the nitrogen-oxygen bonds. This effectively gives each bond the characteristic of 1.3 bonds, and slightly longer than in the nitrite ion.
