Bismuth basic nitrate exhibits astringent, drying and antiseptic effects. Its use is based on the fact that when it enters the digestive tract it undergoes hydrolysis with the formation of sparingly soluble products that are not absorbed through the walls of the gastrointestinal tract: Bi(NO3)3 + H2O = Bi(OH)(NO3)2 + HNO3 Bi(OH) (NO3)2 + H2O = Bi(OH)2NO3+ HNO3 Bi(OH)2NO3 = H2O + (BiО)NO3↓ – non soluble Find mass of insoluble compound is formed from 75 mg of bismuth nitrate.

Question

Bismuth basic nitrate exhibits astringent, drying and antiseptic effects. Its use is based on the fact that when it enters the digestive tract it undergoes hydrolysis with the formation of sparingly soluble products that are not absorbed through the walls of the gastrointestinal tract:

Bi(NO3)3 + H2O = Bi(OH)(NO3)2 + HNO3

Bi(OH) (NO3)2 + H2O = Bi(OH)2NO3+ HNO3

Bi(OH)2NO3 = H2O + (BiО)NO3↓ – non soluble Find mass of insoluble compound is formed from 75 mg of bismuth nitrate.
