Question

reaction between amino acids and sodium nitrate

Answer 1

Hi there

See there can be 2 products

1: If Temperature is less than 200 ° C

NaNO3 + H2SO4 →NaHSO4 + HNO3

( Process of nitric acid preparation)

2: If Temperature is more than 200°C

NaNO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + HNO3

Na2SO4 sticks to glass vessel , difficult to remove as it sticks to glass , it may cause the glass to crack , and there unnecessary wastage of fuel .



Thank You
