Chemical compound
Bromine mononitrate is aninorganic compound , derived frombromine andnitric acid with the chemical formula BrNO3 . The compound is a yellow liquid that decomposes at temperatures above 0 °C.[ 1]
This compounds is extremely reactive due to its intrinsic instability, which makes handling and synthesis challenging. Because of its explosive potential and corrosive character, this substance is mostly used for study in restricted laboratory settings. About its particular characteristics and uses outside of its use as a chemical research subject, not much is known.
Bromine nitrate can be prepared by several methods:
1. Reaction ofsilver nitrate on an alcoholic solution of bromine:
Br2 + AgNO3 → BrNO3 + AgBr 2. Reaction ofbromine chloride withchlorine nitrate at low temperatures:
BrCl + ClNO3 → BrNO3 + Cl2 Physical properties [ edit ] Bromine mononitrate forms an unstable yellow liquid that decomposes at temperatures above 0 °C.
The molecule has the structure BrONO2 .[ 2] [ 3]
The compound is easily soluble intrichlorofluoromethane andcarbon tetrachloride .
Bromine nitrate plays a role in tropospheric chemistry as it reacts withsulfuric acid .[ 4] [ 5]
