Nitric Acid is a strong acid with the chemical formula HNO3. It is also known as the spirit of niter and aqua fortis. In its pure form, it is colorless but as it gets older it turns into a yellow cast. This color appears due to the decomposition of Nitric acid to oxides of nitrogen and water. It is highly corrosive and toxic. It causes severe skin burn. It reacts with hydroxides, metals, and oxides to form nitrate salts.
Nitric acid is the primary reagent used for nitration – the addition of a nitro group, typically to an organic molecule. While some resulting nitro compounds are shock- and thermally-sensitive explosives, a few are stable enough to be used in munitions and demolition, while others are still more stable and used as pigments in inks and dyes. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
uses
The main industrial use of nitric acid is for the production of fertilizers. Nitric acid is neutralized with ammonia to give ammonium nitrate. In electrochemistry, nitric acid is used as a chemical doping agent for organic semiconductors, and in purification processes for raw carbon nanotubes. The corrosive effects of nitric acid are exploited for some special applications, such as etching in printmaking, pickling stainless steel, or cleaning silicon wafers in electronics. A solution of nitric acid, water, and alcohol, Nital, is used for etching metals to reveal the microstructure.
