Strontium nitrate significantly better than using glycolic acid alone. As a divalent ion with an ionic radius similar to that of Ca (1.13 vs. 0.99 A, respectively), Sr ions resembles calcium's ability to traverse calcium-selective ion channels and trigger neurotransmitter release from nerve endings. It is thus used in electrophysiology experiments. In his short story "A Germ Destroyer", Rudyard Kipling refers to strontium nitrate as the main ingredient of the titular fumigant. Strontium nitrate Strontium nitrate is an inorganic compound made of the elements strontium and nitrogen with the formula Sr(NO). This colorless solid is used as a red colorant and oxidizer
Cadmium nitrate oxides of nitrogen. When hydrogen sulfide is passed through an acidified solution of cadmium nitrate, yellow cadmium sulfide is formed. A red modification of the sulfide is formed under boiling conditions. When with caustic soda solution, cadmium oxide forms precipitate of cadmium hydroxide. Many insoluble cadmium salts are obtained by such precipitation reactions. Cadmium nitrate Cadmium nitrate describes any of the related members of a family of inorganic compound with the general formula <chem>Cd(NO3)2.\mathit{x}H2O</chem>. The anhydrous form is volatile but the others are salts. All are colourless crystalline solids that absorb moisture from air and becomes watery, that is deliquescent.
