sodium nitrate

The appearance is white fine crystals, some with light gray or light yellow color. The relative molecular mass is 84.99 and the specific gravity is 2.257. Easily deliquescent and soluble in water and liquid ammonia. Slightly soluble in ethanol and glycerin, with a melting point of 306°C and a decomposition temperature of 380°C. The decomposition products are sodium nitrite and oxygen. When heated to a higher temperature, the decomposition intensifies to produce a mixed gas of oxygen, nitrogen, and nitrogen oxide compounds. It has strong oxidizing properties and can cause combustion and explosion when mixed with organic matter, sulfur, sulfite, etc.
