Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
The nitrite ion has the chemical formula Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO−2. Nitrite (mostly sodium nitrite) is widely used throughout chemical and pharmaceutical industries.[1] The nitrite anion is a pervasive intermediate in the nitrogen cycle in nature. The name nitrite also refers to organic compounds having the –ONO group, which are esters of nitrous acid.
Production
Sodium nitrite is made industrially by passing a mixture of nitrogen oxides into aqueous sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate solution:[2][1]
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO + NO2 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaNO2 + H2O
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO + NO2 + Na2CO3 → 2 NaNO2 + CO2
The product is purified by recrystallization. Alkali metal nitrites are thermally stable up to and beyond their melting point (441 °C (826 °F) for Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.KNO2). Ammonium nitrite can be made from dinitrogen trioxide, Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.N2O3, which is formally the anhydride of nitrous acid:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.2 NH3 + H2O + N2O3 → 2 NH4NO2
Structure
Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

The nitrite ion has a symmetrical structure (C2v) symmetry), with both N–O bonds having equal length and a bond angle of about 115°. In valence bond theory, it is described as a resonance hybrid with equal contributions from two canonical forms that are mirror images of each other. In molecular orbital theory, there is a sigma bond between each oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom, and a delocalized pi bond made from the p orbitals on nitrogen and oxygen atoms, which is perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. The negative charge of the ion is equally distributed on the two oxygen atoms. Both nitrogen and oxygen atoms carry a lone pair of electrons. Therefore, the nitrite ion is a Lewis base.
In the gas phase, it exists predominantly as a trans-planar molecule.
Reactions
Acid-base properties
Nitrite is the conjugate base of the weak acid nitrous acid:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.HNO2 ⇌ H+ + Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO−2; pKa ≈ 3.3 at 18 °C (64 °F)[citation needed]
Nitrous acid is also highly unstable, tending to disproportionate:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.3 HNO2(aq) ⇌ H3O+ + 2 NO + Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO−3
This reaction is slow at 0 °C (32 °F).[2] Addition of acid to a solution of a nitrite in the presence of a reducing agent, such as iron(II), is a way to make nitric oxide (NO) in the laboratory.
Oxidation and reduction
The formal oxidation state of the nitrogen atom in nitrite is +3. This means it can be either oxidized to oxidation states +4 and +5 or reduced to as low as −3. Standard reduction potentials for reactions directly involving nitrous acid are shown in the table below:[3]
Half-reaction E0 (V) Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO−3 + Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.3 H+ + 2 e− ⇌ HNO2 + H2O +0.94 Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.2 HNO2 + 4 H+ + 4 e− ⇌ H2N2O2 + 2 H2O +0.86 Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.N2O4 + 2 H+ + 2 e− ⇌ 2 HNO2 +1.065 Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.2 HNO2 + 4 H+ + 4 e− ⇌ N2O + 3 H2O +1.29
The data can be extended to include products in lower oxidation states. For example:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.H2N2O2 + 2 H+ + 2 e− ⇌ N2 + 2 H2O; E0 = +2.65 V
Oxidation reactions usually result in the formation of the nitrate ion, with nitrogen in oxidation state +5. For example, oxidation with permanganate ion can be used for quantitative analysis of nitrite (by titration):
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.5 NO−2 + 2 MnO−4 + 6 H+ → 2 Mn2+ + 3 H2O + 5 NO−3
The products of reduction reactions with the nitrite ion vary depending on the reducing agent used and its strength. With sulfur dioxide, the products are NO and Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.N2O; with tin(II) (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Sn2+) the product is hyponitrous acid (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.H2N2O2); reduction all the way to ammonia (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NH3) occurs with hydrogen sulfide. With the hydrazinium cation (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.N2H+5) the product of nitrite reduction is hydrazoic acid (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.HN3), an unstable and explosive compound:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.N2H+5 + HNO2 → HN3 + H2O + H3O+
which can also further react with nitrite:
- Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.HNO2 + HN3 → N2O + N2 + H2O
This reaction is unusual in that it involves compounds with nitrogen in four different oxidation states.[2]
Analysis of nitrite
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Nitrite is detected and analyzed by the Griess Reaction, involving the formation of a deep red-colored azo dye upon treatment of a Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.NO−2-containing sample with sulfanilic acid and naphthyl-1-amine in the presence of acid.[4]
Coordination complexes
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Nitrite is an ambidentate ligand and can form a wide variety of coordination complexes by binding to metal ions in several ways. For example, the red nitrito pentaamminecobalt complex Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.[Co(NH3)5(ONO)]2+ is metastable, isomerizing to the yellow nitro complex Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.[Co(NH3)5(NO2)]2+.[2]
Nitrite is processed by several enzymes, all of which utilize coordination complexes.[citation needed]
Hazardous reactions
When heated with cyanides or thiosulfates, nitrites violently explode.[5]
Biochemistry

In nitrification, ammonium is converted to nitrite. Important species include Nitrosomonas. Other bacterial species, such as Nitrobacter, are responsible for oxidizing nitrite to nitrate.[citation needed]
Nitrite can be reduced to nitric oxide or ammonia by many species of bacteria. Under hypoxic conditions, nitrite may release nitric oxide, which causes potent vasodilation. Several mechanisms for nitrite conversion to NO have been described, including enzymatic reduction by xanthine oxidoreductase, nitrite reductase, and NO synthase (NOS), as well as nonenzymatic acidic disproportionation reactions.[citation needed]
Uses
Chemical precursor
Azo dyes and other colorants are prepared by the process called diazotization, which requires nitrite.[1]
Nitrite in food preservation and biochemistry
Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.
This section may lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. The specific problem is: There are lots of questionable sources mixed in with normal ones being used to push an agenda here, and this much information on food/nutrition aspects probably doesn't belong in what is otherwise a chemistry article about nitrite in the first place. Or, more to the point, since nitrite's dangers in food are well-known at this point in time, why does this section seem like it's trying to convince me from the point of view of a partially deranged vegan?

The addition of nitrites and nitrates to processed meats such as ham, bacon, and sausages speeds up the curing of meat and also imparts an attractive colour. Nitrite reacts with the meat's myoglobin by attaching to the heme iron atom, forming reddish-brown nitrosomyoglobin and the characteristic pink "fresh" color of nitrosohemochrome or nitrosyl-heme upon cooking.[8] [9]
The academic and industrial consensus is that nitrites also reduce the growth and toxin production of Clostridium botulinum.[10][11][12]
On the other hand, a 2018 study by the British Meat Producers Association determined that legally permitted levels of nitrite do not affect the growth of C. botulinum.[13]
Addition of ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, or one of their salts enhances the binding of nitrite to the iron atom in myoglobin.[8] These chemicals also reduce the formation of nitrosamine in the stomach, but only when the fat content of a meal is less than 10%, beyond which they instead increase the formation of nitrosamine.[14][15]
In the U.S., meat cannot be labeled "cured" unless it contains nitrite.[16][17][18] In the US, nitrite has been formally used since 1925. According to scientists working for the industry group American Meat Institute, this use of nitrite started in the Middle Ages.[19]
In some countries,[which?] cured-meat products are manufactured without nitrate or nitrite, and without nitrite from vegetable sources. Parma ham, produced without nitrite since 1993, was reported in 2018 to have caused no cases of botulism. This is because the muscle's interior is sterile, while its surface is exposed to oxygen.[9] Other manufacturing processes do not assure these conditions, and reduction of nitrite results in toxin production.[20]
Historians and epidemiologists argue[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">weasel words] that the widespread use of nitrite in meat-curing is closely linked to the development of industrial meat-processing.[21][22] French investigative journalist Guillaume Coudray asserts that the meat industry chooses to cure its meats with nitrite even though it is established that this chemical gives rise to cancer-causing nitroso-compounds.[citation needed] Some traditional and artisanal producers avoid nitrites. As many researchers[who?] nowadays[when?] try to point out the hazardous generation of nitrosamines as nitrites bind to free peptides in the gastrointestinal system, the EU published a regulation that requires lowering nitrite levels in meat curing from 150 to 80 ppm.[23]
In mice, food rich in nitrites together with unsaturated fats can prevent hypertension by forming nitro fatty acids that inhibit soluble epoxide hydrolase, which is one explanation for the apparent health effect of the Mediterranean diet.[24] Adding nitrites to meat has been shown to generate known carcinogens; the World Health Organization (WHO) advises that eating 50 g (1.8 oz) of nitrite processed meat a day would raise the risk of getting bowel cancer by 18% over a lifetime.[9]
The recommended maximum limits by the World Health Organization in drinking water are 3 mg/L and 50 mg/L for nitrite and nitrate ions, respectively. Ingesting too much nitrite and/or nitrate through well water is suspected to cause methemoglobinemia.[25][26]
95% of the nitrite ingested in modern diets comes from bacterial conversion of nitrates naturally found in vegetables.[27] However, potentially cancer-causing nitroso compounds are not formed in the pH-neutral colon. They are mostly produced in the acidic stomach.[28][29]
Since the 1980s, sorbic acid and its salts have been used to inhibit Clostridium botulinum in meat products, replacing nitrites to avoid the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines.[30]
Antidote for cyanide poisoning
Nitrites in the form of sodium nitrite and amyl nitrite are components of many cyanide antidote kits.[31] Both of these compounds bind to hemoglobin and oxidize the Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Fe2+ ions to Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Fe3+ ions forming methemoglobin. Methemoglobin, in turn, binds to cyanide (CN), creating cyanmethemoglobin, effectively removing cyanide from the complex IV of the electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria, which is the primary site of disruption caused by cyanide. Another mechanism by which nitrites help treat cyanide toxicity is the generation of nitric oxide (NO). NO displaces the CN from the cytochrome c oxidase (ETC complex IV), making it available for methemoglobin to bind.[32]
Organic nitrites
In organic chemistry, alkyl nitrites are esters of nitrous acid and contain the nitrosoxy functional group. Nitro compounds contain the Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.C−NO2 group. Nitrites have the general formula RONO, where R is an aryl or alkyl group. Amyl nitrite and other alkyl nitrites have a vasodilating action and must be handled in the laboratory with caution. They are sometimes used in medicine to treat heart disease. A classic named reaction for the synthesis of alkyl nitrites is the Meyer synthesis in which alkyl halides react with metallic nitrites to a mixture of nitroalkanes and nitrites.[33][34]
Safety
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Large doses of nitrites cause acute poisoning in the form of methemoglobinemia, which can lead to death.[35]
