A solution of nitric acid, water and alcohol, nital, is used for etching metals to reveal the microstructure. ISO 14104 is one of the standards detailing this well known procedure. [45] Nitric acid is used either in combination with hydrochloric acid or alone to clean glass cover slips and glass slides for high-end microscopy applications. [46]
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
nitric acid, butyl ester Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). N verify ( what is Y N ?)
1-nitropropane is produced industrially by the reaction of propane and nitric acid. This reaction forms four nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane. 1-nitropropane is also a byproduct of the process for making 2-nitropropane, which is done by vapour phase nitration of propane.
Methyl nitrate is a sensitive explosive.When ignited it burns extremely fiercely with a gray-blue flame. Methyl nitrate is a very strong explosive with a detonation velocity of 6,300 m/s, [8] like nitroglycerin, ethylene glycol dinitrate, and other nitrate esters.
In the United States of America, over seven million tonnes of nitric acid are produced every year, most of which is used for nitrate production for fertilisers and explosives, among other uses. Anhydrous nitric acid may be made by distilling concentrated nitric acid with phosphorus pentoxide at low pressure in glass apparatus in the dark.
Polymerization involves an acid-catalyzed polycondensation, usually giving a black cross-linked product. [9] A highly simplified representation is shown below. Because of its low molecular weight, furfuryl alcohol can impregnate the cells of wood, where it can be polymerized and bonded with the wood by heat, radiation, and/or catalysts or ...
It hydrolyzes in moist air to acetic acid and nitric acid. Alternatively, nitric acid adds to ketene. [2] For aromatic nitrations, acetyl nitrate is generated in situ by mixing nitric acid with an excess of acetic anhydride in the presence of the aromatic substrate. [3] It acetylates amines, akin to the behavior of acetyl chloride:
