Chemical compound

Barium nitrite is a chemical compound with the formula Ba(NO2)2, the nitrous acid salt of barium. It is a water-soluble white to yellowish powder.[1] It is used to prepare other metal nitrites, such as lithium nitrite.

Synthesis

[edit]

Barium nitrite can be prepared by reacting barium nitrate with lead metal sponge, or by reaction of lead nitrite with barium chloride.[2]

The monohydrate can be crystallized from a stoichiometric solution of barium chloride and sodium nitrite.[1]
