One use Nitric acid in the production of certain explosives.

NitroGlycerine.

And one also use Sulfuric acid in order to take moisture out of the Nitroglycerine formed.

I do however not think that those acids react with each other.

I think they just mix, forming an acid that also has great dehydrating powers.

There is more information on Wikipedia about Sulfuric Acid, allso a tiny bit regarding Nitric Acid.

Be aware that both acids reacting with organic materials is highly dangerous.

There is an exothermic reaction where water is pulled out of whatever organic matereal there is. This leaves Carbon that in turn will be Nitrated by the Nitric acid. Due to the Exothermic reaction the mix will heat up rapidly and you might have an uncontrollable reaction that ultimately leads to explosion.

It is NOT something you experiment with without proper deep understanding of chemistry. Your life is at stake and so is the life of ppl around you.

Alfred Nobel (Inventor of Dynamite) had a brother who died due to an explosion of this kind, and he was well "educated".

Phenol when it first reacts with conc sulfuric acid and then with conc nitric acid gives?

Phenol reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to form the sulfonated product, and then with concentrated nitric acid to form picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol).


Why Should phenylalanine give a yellow Color with concentrated nitric acid?

Phenylalanine gives a yellow color with concentrated nitric acid due to the formation of a nitro derivative. Nitric acid reacts with the aromatic ring of phenylalanine, leading to the formation of a yellow compound.


How does aluminum metal react with nitric acid?

When aluminum metal reacts with nitric acid, it produces aluminum nitrate, nitrogen dioxide gas, and water. This reaction is exothermic and can be violent if concentrated nitric acid is used.


Does iron reacts with concentrated nitric acid?

iron with concentrated nitric acid no reaction occurs becase of the iron passivity which is due to the oxidizing property of the acid were a layer of the metal oxide is formed which is complete and non porous so it protects the metal from further reaction

Carbon react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Carbon don't react with acids, except concentrated Nitric acid. Concentrated nitric acid reacts with carbon to produce Water, Carbon dioxide, and Nitrogen dioxide.


How does albumin react with concentrated nitric acid?

Albumin reacts with concentrated nitric acid by undergoing nitration, where nitrogen atoms from the nitrate ions in the acid are added to the protein. This reaction can lead to denaturation of the albumin protein, resulting in loss of its biological activity and potential degradation of its structure.

Why does only dilute nitric acid react with dry sodium carbonate?

When sodium bicarbonate reacts with nitric acid, sodium nitrate salt is formed along with carbonic acid (double replacement reaction), which immediately decomposes to water and gaseous carbon dioxide (which explains the fizzing). The concentration of the nitric acid affects the rate of reaction, the more dilute it is, the slower the reaction will progress. The more pure the nitric acid, the faster the reaction will take place.
