Nitrous acid is a weak and monobasic acid acid known only in the solution and in the form of nitrate salts. It is used to make diazides from amines. The diazide can be liberated to give a carbene or carbenoid. Nitrous acids only exist in aqueous solutions which is why it is very unstable. It is found in many salt solutions and is used in everyday life.
Could you explain how it is used in everyday life?
ReplyDeleteI would really like to know how or what it is used in that we come in contact with on a day to day basis. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that it was a weak monobasic acid.
