NITRATED Meaning and
Definition
-
Nitrated is an adjective that refers to the process or state of having been treated or combined with nitric acid, in which a nitro group (NO2) is introduced into a compound or substance. The term specifically describes the act of introducing, adding, or incorporating nitrate groups into molecules.
Nitrated compounds are commonly used in various industrial processes, such as explosives, synthetic dyes, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers. For example, the nitrated compound nitroglycerin is deemed highly explosive and is used in the production of dynamite and other powerful explosives. Similarly, nitrated organic compounds are employed in the synthesis of vibrant and colorful synthetic dyes, while nitrated rubber finds applications in the production of automobile tires.
The nitrating process typically involves reacting the compound or substance with nitric acid, resulting in the replacement of certain hydrogen atoms in the molecule with nitro groups. This substitution often leads to changes in the physical and chemical properties of the substance, such as increased reactivity, explosiveness, or color. Additionally, the nitrated form of a compound might exhibit enhanced solubility characteristics or improved resistance to degradation.
Overall, "nitrated" is a term used in chemistry to describe the modification or treatment of a compound or substance by introducing nitro groups through the application of nitric acid.

Etymology of NITRATED
The word "nitrated" is derived from the noun "nitrate" which is in turn derived from the Latin word "nitratum". "Nitratum" comes from the Latin verb "nitro", meaning "to sparkle" or "to shine". The term "nitro" originally referred to a compound called "sal petrae" in medieval Latin, and later the word "nitratum" was used to describe other compounds containing the nitrate ion (NO3-), which are known for their use in fertilizers, explosives, and other chemical applications. Over time, the term "nitrated" was formed as an adjective describing something that has been treated or reacted with a nitrate compound.
