Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Nitration

👉 Nitration is a chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form an amide. The reaction involves the transfer of two hydrogen atoms from the acid (H+) to the base (OH-) and formation of a nitrogen atom from the amide (NH2). This process can be used for the production of nitro compounds, such as nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3-), which are essential in many biological processes.
