• Article Data23
• CAS DataBase
• Density 1.081g/cm³
• Solubility
• Melting Point -99.99°C
• Formula C3H7 N O3
• Boiling Point 111.6°C at 760 mmHg
• Molecular Weight 105.093
• Flash Point 42.2°C
• Transport Information
• Appearance
• Safety Poison by intravenous route. Inhalation can cause hypotension and methemoglobinemia. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. A shock-sensitive explosive. It can be desensitized by the addition of 1–2% propane, butane, chloroform, dimethyl ether, or diethyl ether. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO_x. Used as a fuel ignition promoter, chemical intermediate, and in the manufacture of rocket fuels. See also NITRATES and ESTERS.
