The name of HNO3 is?
The chemical name of HNO3 is nitric acid
Can nitric acid melt brass?
Yes, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and nitric acid cant "melt" (ie oxidize) both of them. The reaction releases dangerous fumes of nitrogen dioxide and must be performed in a fume hood.
In what form does nitric acid exist?
Nitric acid is just nitric acid. At room temperature, it is a liquid.
What does gold plus nitric acid yield to?
Just gold and nitric acid. Gold's impervious to nitric acid.
What is the periodic name for nitric acid?
The IUPAC name for nitric acid is "nitric acid." But its Periodic name is HNO3
Can concentrated nitric acid be used in flame test instead of concentrated hydrochloric acid?
Cleaning of the test wire (platinum or nickel-chromium alloy) may by realized with nitric acid or hydrochloric acid.Rinsing is made with demineralized water.
