Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO₃. Sodium nitrate is a white deliquescent solid very soluble in water. It is a readily available source of the nitrate anion (NO₃⁻), which is useful in several reactions carried out on industrial scales for the production of fertilizers, pyrotechnics and smoke bombs, glass and pottery enamels, food preservatives (esp. meats), and solid rocket propellant. 

Physical Properties

• It is a colourless, odourless, deliquescent solid.
• NaNO₃ is readily soluble in water.
• Sodium nitrate structure is crystallised, namely rhombohedral and trigonal. 
• Its aqueous solution is neutral towards litmus.
• NaNO₃ melting point is 308 C. 
• At the temperature of 20 degrees, the solubility of NaNO₃ is 74g/100 gm of water.
• The boiling point of NaNO₃ is 380 C. 
• NaNO₃ is easily soluble in ammonia as well. 

 Chemical Properties

• NaNO₃ on heating loses a molecule of oxygen.
• Sodium nitrate reacts with concentrate sulphuric acid to produce nitric acid. 
• It is an oxidising agent hence reacts readily with strong reducing agents and combustible agents. However, it is not combustible itself. 
• Its molar mass is 84.99/mole. 
• The density of NaNO₃ is 2.257 grams/cubic centimetre.
