    Sodium nitrate is also known as ________ - ProProfs

    Sodium nitrate is also known as ________

    • Brazil saltpeter

    • Chile saltpeter

    • Belize saltpeter

    • Columbia saltpeter

    Correct Answer
    A. Chile saltpeter
    Explanation
    Sodium nitrate is commonly referred to as Chile saltpeter. This name is derived from the fact that Chile was historically the largest producer and exporter of sodium nitrate. It was widely used as a fertilizer and in the production of explosives. The term "Chile saltpeter" distinguishes it from other forms of saltpeter found in different regions, such as Brazil, Belize, or Columbia.

    The formula for Sodium Nitrate is ____________ - ProProfs

    The formula for Sodium Nitrate is ____________

    • Na2NO3

    • NaNO2

    • NaNO3

    • NaNO

    Correct Answer
    A. NaNO3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is NaNO3. Sodium nitrate is composed of one sodium ion (Na+) and one nitrate ion (NO3-). The formula reflects this by showing the presence of one sodium atom and one nitrate group in the compound. The subscript 3 indicates that there are three oxygen atoms in the nitrate group.
