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
Zirconium nitrate low temperature, and does not contaminate the surface with other elements such as hydrogen or fluorine. Zirconium nitrate Zirconium nitrate is a volatile anhydrous transition metal nitrate of zirconium with formula Zr(NO). It has alternate names of zirconium tetranitrate, or zirconium(IV) nitrate. It has a UN number of UN 2728 and is class 5.1, meaning oxidising substance. Anhydrous Zirconium nitrate can be made from zirconium tetrachloride reacting with dinitrogen pentoxide. ZrCl + 4 NO → Zr(NO) + 4ClNO The product can be purified by sublimation in a vacuum. A contaminating substance in this is nitronium pentanitratozirconate. (NO)Zr(NO). Zirconium nitrate pentahydrate
