Nitric Acid (HNO₃) is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid widely used in fertilizer production, explosives (like TNT), metal processing, and chemical manufacturing. It is a colorless to yellowish liquid with strong oxidizing properties and must be handled carefully due to its reactivity and ability to cause severe burns.

Specification:

Chemical Formula : HNO3

CAS Number : 7697-37-2
Appearance : Colorless to yellowish liquid (yellowing is due to decomposition into

nitrogen oxides, especially when exposed to light). Concentrated

                                     solutions can fume in air.
Specific Gravity : 1.408
HNO3                         : 68.2%
HNO2                         : 2 PPM
Cl : 0.01 PPM
Fe                               : 0.2 PPM
Ig-Residue : 2.0 PPM
Pb                               : 0.01 PPM
Arsenic : 0.01 PPM

Application:
