In salt analysis, a few drops of dilute nitric acid acidify the sample before silver nitrate is added, so carbonate cannot give a false precipitate in the halide test. Students also use it to make metal nitrates from oxides or carbonates, and concentrated acid produces the yellow xanthoproteic colour when it meets protein. Its reaction with copper releases brown nitrogen dioxide instead of hydrogen, which makes it a teacher demonstration that belongs in a fume cupboard.
Nitric acid is corrosive and a strong oxidiser, so keep it well away from alcohols, paper, wood and other organic material. Always add the acid slowly to water when diluting, wear goggles, gloves and an apron, and keep the bottle upright in a chemistry reagent cabinet out of direct light, because the liquid slowly yellows as it decomposes.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and sources Nitric Acid 500 ml for schools, colleges and institutional laboratories in India and international markets, dispatching each bottle with its MSDS. Buying acids together with glassware and protective wear from one supplier lets a chemistry department place a single enquiry for a whole practical. For vendor registration, the supplying company holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT.
