Name: Sodium Nitrate
Chemical Formula: NaNO3
Appearance: White powder or colorless crystals and is odorless
Other names include caliche, Chile saltpeter, saltpeter, and soda niter.
Manufactured synthetically by a chemical reaction between nitric acid and soda ash. It is a type of salt which is commonly used as one of the ingredients in fertilizers. It is also one of the raw materials for manufacturing of gun powder for explosives. It is used in solid rocket propellants. It is also used a food preservative. It naturally occurs in leaf of green vegetables and is known to have health benefits such as increasing oxygen to blood.
It has also been extensively used to manufacture nitric acid. It's a hazardous chemical; it's a strong oxidizer and may cause fire if it comes in contact with other materials. If it comes in contact with the skin, it can cause redness, itching and pain. Should be wiped off with a cloth and washed with soap and water. In case of inhalation it can cause shortness of breath and coughing. Move out to fresh air in such cases.
The oxidation number of Na = +1 and NO3 = -1
NaNO3 Does not have a measurable ionic charge.
