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]
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.
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]
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]
Gallium nitrate (brand name Ganite) is the gallium salt of nitric acid with the chemical formula Ga(NO 3) 3. It is a drug used to treat symptomatic hypercalcemia secondary to cancer. It works by preventing the breakdown of bone through the inhibition of osteoclast activity, thus lowering the amount of free calcium in the blood.
Nital is a critical plot element in the Japanese manga series Dr. Stone, whose story revolves around the mysterious petrification of all mankind. Made from nitric acid that they produce from bat guano found in a cave, they produce nitric acid by using the Ostwald process (using Platinum as a catalyst and urine as an ingredient) and highly distilled alcohol with a ratio of 3:7.
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.
