- Substance
Sodium Nitrate appears as a white crystalline powder, which is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 88 g/100 mL at 20°C. It has a melting point of 308°C and a boiling point of 380°C. The density of sodium nitrate is about 2.26 g/cm³. It has a faint, characteristic odor and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from combustible materials due to its oxidizing properties.
