- Substance
The solution is a clear, colorless liquid with a density of 1.010 g/mL. It has a boiling point of approximately 100 °C (212 °F) and is soluble in water, forming a clear solution. The pH of the solution is typically around 7, indicating neutrality. Sodium nitrite has a melting point of 271 °C (520 °F) when in solid form, but as a solution, it remains liquid at room temperature. The solution is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong acids and reducing agents.
