One produces red fumes of Nitrogen dioxide(being more concentrated than the other), and the other produces whitish fumes of Nitrogen monoxide.

Why add the nitric acid?

Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and toxic strong mineral acid which is normally colorless but tends to acquire a yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen if long-stored. Ordinary nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% of it, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, at concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.


How do you prepare 2N nitric acid?

It's not exactly the sort of thing you can do in your kitchen, if that's what you were hoping for. Industrially it's made by heating air to very high temperatures to roast the nitrogen into NO2, then reacting that with water to produce nitric acid.


What are the products of reaction between silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid?

The reaction between silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid forms silver chloride and nitric acid as products. Silver chloride is a white precipitate that is insoluble in water, while nitric acid remains in solution.


How can you tell the difference between zinc and silver?

Zinc is typically lighter in color and has a bluish tint, whereas silver has a brighter, more reflective appearance. You can also conduct a simple acid test - zinc will not react to nitric acid, whereas silver will turn a milky white color when exposed to nitric acid. Additionally, silver is a much denser metal compared to zinc.


What is the colour of concentrated nitric acid?

The nitric acid used in laboratory is colorless. The very concentated nitric acid - the fumans acid - with dissolved nitrogen oxides, can release white, red or brown fumes, very corrosive and toxic.

What makes nitric acid fuming?

Fuming nitric acid is the term used when the solution contains more than 86% HNO3. The characterization of fuming nitric acid varies based on the concentration of nitrogen dioxide. Concentrations above 86% are classified as red fuming nitric acid, while concentrations above 95% are known as white fuming nitric acid.

What is the difference between concentrated and super saturated solution?

The ratio of solute and the solvent determine the strength of a solution in terms of concentration. 1 gm of salt (NaCl) dissolved in one liter - less concentration 100 gm of salt in in 1 liter of water - high concentration 320 gm of slat in 1 liter of water - saturated more than 320 gms in liter of water - super saturated Now the difference is : if the maximum quantity of solute could dissolve fully in the solvent @ NTP or STP it is called saturated solution, above which it could not dissolve further without increasing the temperature as it has reached the equilibrium of solubility. For chlorides it is 32% as rule of thumb. If you can raise the temperature more salt will dissolve but once the temperature drops down, it will develop crystalline flakes floating on the water - called salting out. Hence anything close to saturation point is concentrated solution. Other examples are: 32 % HCl is Concentrated. There is no saturated HCl acid available. Nitric acid is called strong or concentrated if it has 68% of HNO3 and above 86% it is called Fuming nitric acid. Maximum is 95% is known as white fuming nitric acid.
