How is the Nitrate Ion (NO3) formed? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
I understand how the nitrite NOX2 N O X 2 ion can be formed and have a negative charge, but the nitrate NOX3 N O X 3 ion is confusing me. I made some simple drawings to try to explain what I don't …
Are all NO3- salts soluble in water? If so, why?
Jun 4, 2015 · All the examples of $\ce {NO3-}$ salts are soluble in water (all that I know about). Is it always so or there is some salt which doesn't dissolve in water? If so what is the reason behind it?
Which has the greater N–O bond length, NO₂⁻ or NO₃⁻?
Nov 18, 2018 · 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, …
What is the oxidation state of nitrogen in nitrate ion and what is its ...
Jan 30, 2015 · The $\ce {NO3-}$ ion cannot be depicted using a single Lewis structure. However, its resonance structures are shown below: What this means is that the actual structure of the nitrate ion …
inorganic chemistry - Delocalization of π-electrons in nitrate ion ...
Dec 18, 2014 · Benzene and nitrate ion are given in my textbook as examples for the delocalization of π-electrons. Benzene, due to symmetry of its resonating structures, is simple enough. We assume …
Why isn't O=N-O-O the best lewis structure for NO3-?
Apr 30, 2019 · 0 I'm practicing lewis structures and I'm stuck on the one for NO3 -1 (nitrate ion). I understand that N has to be the central atom because it is the least electronegative, but I'm confused …
Why do we have to prevent the hydrolysis of iron(III) nitrate?
May 16, 2023 · 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 …
Balancing a chemical reaction with oxidation numbers
Feb 1, 2022 · Much easier to balance Cu + 4 HNO3 = Cu [NO3]2 +2NO2 +2 H2O when one knows what nitric acid and nitrate ion are. If the actual reaction is a consecutive series and one is concerned …
inorganic chemistry - Why is it wrong to draw the Lewis structure of a ...
Jun 5, 2022 · 0 When drawing for example the Lewis structure of nitrate ion (NO3)^-1 whould it be wrong to draw nitrogen and oxygen separately and then try to figure out the structure of the ion? In …
Reaction of copper with nitric acid - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Aug 23, 2020 · $$\ce {Cu + 4HNO3 -> Cu (NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O}$$ As we see that with dilute acid oxidation state of nitrogen changes from $+5$ to $+2$ and with concentrated acid it changes from …
