Nitric Acid, also known as Aqua Fortis, Engraver’s Acid, Azotic Acid, and Hydrogen Nitrate has the chemical formula HNO3. It appears as a transparent, pale yellow to red-brown liquid, releasing reddish- brown fumes, with a characteristic choking odor. It is soluble in Water but highly toxic on inhalation. Short- term exposure to high concentrations and prolonged exposure to low concentrations are hazardous and may result in adverse health effects. Lab Alley’s Nitric Acid, 1% Solution is prepared by mixing 1% of Nitric Acid in 99% of Deionized Water. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity. Due to its high purity, Nitric Acid, 1% Solution, Lab Grade is highly recommended for laboratory testing.
Nitric acid, also known as aqua fortis and spirit of niter, is a highly corrosive mineral acid. The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercially available nitric acid has a concentration of 68% in water.Â
