Nitric Acid – Types, Uses and Reactions

Image
  Nitric acid is a mineral acid used as a reagent in the nitration process. Nitric Acid is produced by the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with water. Nitric acid is colorless corrosive which is also called as aqua fortis. It is colorless and corrosive in nature. The acidic properties of nitric acid make it very popular. Palvi Chemical as one of the well-known Nitric Acid manufacturers in Brazil in this blog discusses about the types, uses and reactions of nitric acid. Nitric Acid Uses a)       Nitric acid works as a laboratory protic solvent. b)       A conjugate acid of a nitrate - nitric acid is widely used in the fertilizers and explosives industry. c)       Fuming nitric acid is used in the explosive industry. d)       Nitric acid is used to manufacture terephthalic acid. e)       Nitric acid is used to manufacture organic compounds. f)        Nitric acid is used in the formation of explosives like nitroglycerin and trinitrotoluene. g)       Nitric acid is used i

5 Basic Facts about Acetic Acid

Image
  Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is second simplest carboxylic acid which is systematically named as ethanoic acid. Acetic acid is a colorless weak acid. Acetic acid is a synthetic carboxylic acid that works as a chemical reagent as well. Globally 6.5 million metric tons of acetic acid is manufactured industrially. In this blog post, let’s learn 5 basic facts about Acetic acid: Acetic Acid Fact 1: Acetic acid is also a weak monoprotic acid with solvent properties that is used in the manufacturing process of chemical compounds. It is a weak organic compound attached to carboxyl functional group containing methyl group. Palvi Chemicals is an acetic acid distributor in Qatar . Acetic Acid Fact 2: The undiluted form of acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid. Glacial acetic acid is a weaker base used in analytical chemistry as a good polar protic solvent to understand substances that are alkaline in nature. This is completely miscible with water. Palvi Chemicals is one of the best a
