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
Vanadyl nitrate if VONO is heated at 350 °C, vanadium pentoxide solid is left behind. Infrared absorption at 9.8 to 10 μm indicates vanadium to oxygen bonds are present, and absorption at 7.25 μm indicates nitrate. Very weak absorption at 12.19 μm shows a very small quantity of ionic nitrate exists, so this compound is mostly covalent. Vanadyl nitrate Vanadyl nitrate, also called vanadium oxytrinitrate or vanadium oxynitrate is a compound of vanadium in the +5 oxidation state with nitrate groups and oxygen. The formula is VO(NO). It is made from dinitrogen pentoxide and vanadium pentoxide. It is a nitrating agent, adding
