Guanidine nitrate

Guanidine nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula CH5N3·HNO3 (linear formula NH2C(=NH)NH2·HNO3). It is a colorless, water-soluble salt. It is produced on a large scale and finds use as precursor for nitroguanidine, fuel in pyrotechnics and gas generators. Its correct name is guanidinium nitrate, but the colloquial term guanidine nitrate is widely used. Wikipedia
