What is LiNO3? Important knowledge about LiNO3.

1. Definition of LiNO₃

LiNO₃, also known as Lithium Nitrate, is a lithium salt of nitric acid. The atoms in LiNO₃ consist of Lithium (Li), Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O). The molar mass of LiNO₃ is 68.95 g/mol. The molecular structure of LiNO₃ consists of one lithium atom, one nitrogen atom, and three oxygen atoms. The ions in LiNO₃ include lithium ions (Li+) and nitrate ions (NO₃-).

2. Properties of LiNO₃

2.1 Physical properties of LiNO₃: LiNO₃ is a solid at room temperature, white in color and odorless. The pH of the LiNO₃ solution is neutral.
2.2 Chemical properties of LiNO₃: LiNO₃ is completely soluble in water and can react with other substances to form other salts.

3. Common chemical equations

LiNO₃ reacts well with acids and metals, but does not react with nonmetals. Some specific examples include:

• Reaction with acid: LiNO₃ + HCl -> LiCl + HNO₃
• Reaction with metal: LiNO₃ + K -> N₂ + 2KOH + Li

4. Synthesis of LiNO₃

4.1 Laboratory synthesis of LiNO₃: LiNO₃ is typically synthesized by reacting lithium with nitric acid: 2Li + 2HNO₃ -> 2LiNO₃ + H₂
4.2 Industrial synthesis of LiNO₃: On an industrial scale, LiNO₃ is typically synthesized using a similar method, but applied to large amounts of lithium and nitric acid.
