Lesson
Nitric Acid focuses on Nitric Acid focuses on Study preparation, oxidising nature, reactions, brown ring test, nitrates, and uses of nitric acid. Nitric acid reacts with metals to form metal nitrates and hydrogen gas. The brown ring test identifies the presence of nitrates by forming a complex between Fe³⁺ ions and NO2⁻ ions, creating a characteristic brown color in solution. In exams, nitric acid's oxidizing nature is often tested through its reactions with metals and organic compounds. Be prepared to write balanced equations and explain the formation of nitrates using the brown ring test. Nitric acid is prepared by the Ostwald process, which involves oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen oxides followed by absorption in water. Nitric acid is a strong acid and oxidising agent, so its preparation and reactions need careful wording.
