Nitric+Acid

Nitric Acid is also known as Aqua Fortis that means strong water and Nitric Acid is extremely corrosive and toxic so if you touch Nitric Acid it will burn you. When pure its colorless but when it it gets old a yellowish form due to the colloection of nitrogen oxcide. Nitric Acid boils at 78.2 degrees Celsius and solid when cooled. The chemical formula for this is __HNO3.__ Nitric Acid freezes at -42 degrees celsius. Nitric Acid has nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms in it. There is a small amount of Nitric Acid in Earth`s atmosphere. Nitric Acid is also one of the acids in acid rain. people use acids fo like fertilizers, explosives, Nitroglycerin, and TNT. This acid is also used to make designs on metals and glass. And its also used in liquid-fueled rockets.

(1) ammonia oxidation

(2) Nitric oxide oxidation

(3) absorption

One way nitric acid is broken down is when its mixwd with copper. when its mixwd with copper it forms nitrogen dioxide.

Properties of nitric acid - The density is 1.152 g/cm3 it older samples turn yellowish because of the accumulation oxides of nitrogen.when pure the acid gives off white fumes when exposed to air. it solidifies at -42c white crystals form.
