Al<sub>2</sub> (SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>_18H<sub>2</sub>O A colorless salt in the form of monoclinic crystals that decompose in heat and are soluble in water; used in papermaking, water purification, and tanning, and as a mordant in dyeing. Also known as alum.
Industry:Chemistry
NO A colorless gas that, at room temperature, reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>, a reddish-brown gas). It may be used to form other compounds. It is a crucial physiological messenger molecule thought to play a role in blood pressure regulation, control of blood clotting, immune defense, digestion, the senses of sight and smell, and possibly learning and memory.
Industry:Chemistry
Na<sub>2</sub> Sx Yellow-brown granules, used to make dyes and colors, and insecticides, as a petroleum additive, and in electroplating.
Industry:Chemistry
NO<sub>2</sub> A reddish-brown gas; it exists in varying degrees of concentration in equilibrium with other nitrogen oxides; used to produce nitric acid. Also known as dinitrogen tetroxide; liquid dioxide; nitrogen peroxide; nitrogen tetroxide.
Industry:Chemistry
Na<sub>4</sub> P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> A white powder; soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol and ammonia; melts at 880_C; used as a water softener and newsprint deinker, and to control drilling-mud viscosity. Also known as normal sodium pyrophosphate; tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP).
Industry:Chemistry
Na<sub>2</sub> SeO<sub>4</sub>_10H<sub>2</sub>O White, poisonous, water-soluble crystals; used as an insecticide.
Industry:Chemistry
N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> Colorless crystals, soluble in water (forms HNO<sub>3</sub>); decomposes at 46_C. Also known as nitrogen acid anhydride.
Industry:Chemistry
Na<sub>2</sub> SeO<sub>3</sub>_5H<sub>2</sub>O White, water-soluble crystals; used in glass manufacture, as a bacteriological reagent, and for decorating porcelain.
