Sodium Nitrate

White minute crystal. Partly light gray and partly pale yellow. Relative molecular mass is 84.99 and density is 2.257. It is easily deliquescent. It is soluble in water and liquid ammonium. However very small quantity can be dissolved in ethanol and glycerin. Its melting point is 271°C and its decomposition temperature is 380°C. Sodium nitrate and oxygen are the decomposition products. If it is heated to higher temperature, it decomposes into gas which has strong oxidizing potential.
