Sounds unlikely, since it's an acid, therefore can't be a base which is by definition the opposite of an acid.

Ammonia reacts with nitric acid to form ammonium nitrate. This is a neutralization reaction where ammonia, a weak base, reacts with nitric acid, a strong acid, to produce a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, releasing heat energy.


How does nitric acid act as a base?

Acids or bases change character based on the solution in which they exist. For instance, HCl is a strong acid in water, but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid. This has to do with the proton affinity of the respective acids and bases. So, nitric acid may act as a base when placed in a solvent that has a lower proton affinity, i.e., the nitric acid will accept the proton as a Bronsted-Lowry base. I'm not as familiar with Lewis acids and bases, but Lewis bases donate electron pairs, and Lewis acids accept them. I'm sure there is a circumstance in which nitric acid will donate an electron pair to a Lewis acid.
