It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results. [1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive. [2]
It is a yellow gas that is commonly encountered as a component of aqua regia, a mixture of 3 parts concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1 part of concentrated nitric acid. It is a strong electrophile and oxidizing agent. It is sometimes called Tilden's reagent, after William A. Tilden, who was the first to produce it as a pure compound. [1]
The oxidation of copper by nitric acid is a complex reaction forming various nitrogen oxides of varying stability which depends on the concentration of the nitric acid, presence of oxygen, and other factors. The unstable species further react to form nitrogen dioxide which is then purified and condensed to form dinitrogen tetroxide.
Strong acids/bases (nitric acid, sodium hydroxide), calcium oxide, anhydrous zinc chloride can be corrosive GHS05: Corrosive Explosives, divisions 1.5, 1.6; Flammable gases, category 2; Self-reactive substances and mixtures, type G (see HAZMAT Class 4 Flammable solids) Organic peroxides, type G; no pictogram required
Red fuming nitric acid (RFNA) is a storable oxidizer used as a rocket propellant. It consists of nitric acid ( H N O 3 ), dinitrogen tetroxide ( N 2 O 4 ) and a small amount of water . The color of red fuming nitric acid is due to the dinitrogen tetroxide, which breaks down partially to form nitrogen dioxide .
This reaction is the first step in the production of nitric acid: [13] 4 NH 3 + 7 O 2 → 4 NO 2 + 6 H 2 O. It can also be produced by the oxidation of nitrosyl chloride: 2 NOCl + O 2 → 2NO 2 + Cl 2. Instead, most laboratory syntheses stabilize and then heat the nitric acid to accelerate the decomposition.
The anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− is generated by dissolving Ce 2 O 3 in hot and concentrated nitric acid (HNO 3). [2] The salt consists of the hexanitratocerate(IV) anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− and a pair of ammonium cations NH + 4. The ammonium ions are not involved in the oxidising reactions of this salt.
