FAQs of Nitric Acid:
Q: How should Nitric Acid be stored to maintain its stability?
A: Nitric Acid should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. Use only HDPE drums or carboys to minimize exposure to light and prevent accidental reactions, as the acid decomposes when exposed to light.
Q: What are the main industrial uses of Nitric Acid?
A: Nitric Acid is used extensively in fertilizer production, nitrate salt manufacturing, metal processing, and as a laboratory reagent. Its strong oxidizing properties make it essential in these applications for efficient chemical reactions.
Q: When does Nitric Acid decompose, and how can this be prevented?
A: Nitric Acid decomposes in the presence of light, leading to loss of strength and yellowing of the liquid. To prevent decomposition, always store it in opaque, tightly sealed HDPE containers and keep it away from sources of light.
Q: Where can Nitric Acid supplied in HDPE drums be sourced in India?
A: Nitric Acid in industrial-grade packaging can be sourced from reputable distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, or traders across India. Ensure your supplier provides the acid in certified HDPE drums or carboys in compliance with safety regulations.
Q: What is the manufacturing process of Nitric Acid?
A: Nitric Acid is produced via the Ostwald process, which involves the catalytic oxidation of ammonia using air. This method yields high-purity acid suitable for industrial and laboratory applications.
Q: How is Nitric Acid beneficial in laboratory settings?
A: In laboratories, Nitric Acid acts as a powerful reagent for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Its strong oxidizing nature facilitates preparation of nitrates and contributes to reliable experimental outcomes.
Q: What precautions should be taken when handling Nitric Acid?
A: Always wear suitable personal protective equipment, including gloves and goggles, as Nitric Acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. Avoid inhaling fumes, and make sure the area is well-ventilated during handling to ensure safety.
