| Domain | Definition |
Mining | Colorless; transparent; odorless; hexagonal; NaNO3 ; molecular weight, 84.99; slightly bitter taste; sp gr, 2.267; melting point, 308 degrees C; no boiling point because it decomposes at 380 degrees C; soluble in water, in ethyl alcohol, and in methyl alcohol; very soluble in ammonia; only slightly soluble in acetone; and slightly soluble in glycerol. Used as an oxidizer in solid rocket propellants, a flux, in glass manufacture, in military explosives, and in enamel for pottery. Also used in enamel frit batches to prevent reduction of any easily reducible ingredients, such as lead oxide. The function of sodium nitrate, when used in glass batches, is to oxidize organic matter and to prevent reduction of some of the batch constituents. Syn:soda niter See also:soda nitrate.
