The Schumacher Nitro 21 XT-R 3E is powered by what organic compound with the chemical formula CH3NO2?
Nitromethane Nitromethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3NO2 . It is the simplest organic nitro compound. It is a polar liquid commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications such as in extractions, as a reaction medium, and as a cleaning solvent. As an intermediate in organic synthesis, it is used widely in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, explosives, fibers, and coatings. Nitromethane is used as a fuel in various motorsports and hobbies, e.g. Top Fuel drag racing and miniature internal combustion engines in radio control, control line and free flight model aircraft.
NONOate In chemistry, a NONOate is a compound having the chemical formula RRN−(NO)−N=O, where R and R are alkyl groups. One example for this is "1,1-diethyl-2-hydroxy-2-nitrosohydrazine", or "diethylamine dinitric oxide". These compounds are unusual in having three sequential nitrogen atoms: an amine functional group, a bridging NO group, and a terminal nitrosyl group. In contact with water, these compounds release NO (nitric oxide).
