Nitric acid reacts with most metals, but the details depend on the concentration of the acid and the nature of the metal. Dilute nitric acid behaves as a typical acid in its reaction with most metals. Magnesium, manganese, and zinc liberate H 2: Mg + 2 HNO 3 → Mg(NO 3) 2 + H 2 Mn + 2 HNO 3 → Mn(NO 3) 2 + H 2 Zn + 2 HNO 3 → Zn(NO 3) 2 + H 2
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]
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.
Commonly used mineral acids are sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO 3); these are also known as bench acids. [1] Mineral acids range from superacids (such as perchloric acid) to very weak ones (such as boric acid). Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.
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.
Nitrosyl chloride is the chemical compound with the formula NOCl. 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.
Dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid HNO 3. Thus, dinitrogen pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid: [11] N 2 O 5 + H 2 O → 2 HNO 3. Solutions of dinitrogen pentoxide in nitric acid can be seen as nitric acid with more than 100% concentration.
It is soluble in water and dilute nitric acid. Basic nitrates are formed when alkali is added to a solution. Pb 2 (OH) 2 (NO 3) 2 is the predominant species formed at low pH. At higher pH Pb 6 (OH) 5 NO 3 is formed. [17] The cation Pb 6 O(OH) 6 4+ is unusual in having an oxide ion inside a cluster of 3 face-sharing PbO 4 tetrahedra. [18]
