Strontium nitrate 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 in pyrotechnics. Strontium nitrate is typically generated by the reaction of nitric acid on strontium carbonate. Like many other strontium salts, strontium nitrate is used to produce a rich red flame in fireworks and road flares. The oxidizing properties of this salt are advantageous in such applications. Strontium nitrate can aid in eliminating and lessening skin irritations. When mixed with glycolic acid, strontium nitrate reduces the sensation of skin irritation
Lithium nitrate In order to rid the final product of excess water, the sample is heated. Lithium nitrate can be toxic to the body when ingested by targeting the central nervous system, thyroids, kidneys, and cardio-vascular system. When exposed to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, lithium nitrate can cause irritation to these areas. Lithium nitrate Lithium nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula LiNO. It is the lithium salt of nitric acid (an alkali metal nitrate). The salt is deliquescent, absorbing water to form the hydrated form, lithium nitrate trihydrate. Its eutectics are of interest for heat transfer fluids. It
