(NPK Fertilisers). Fertilisers containing nitrate ions (NO 3-) not only contain an essential nutrient, but are also very soluble. Different crops need fertilisers with different proportions of ...

We have made measurements using oxygen isotopes on aqueous nitrate to reveal a small hydrogen-bonded water coordination number (3.9 ± 1.2) around a nitrate oxyanion. This is compared to estimates made ...
