Nitric Acid – Types, Uses and Reactions

 


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 in the production process of many chemical intermediates.

Palvi Chemical is a Nitric Acid supplier in Brazil.

Nitric Acid Types

There are two types of Nitric Acid:

a)      Nitric Acid with 68% HNO3.

b)      Nitric Acid with 98% HNO3. This is called Fuming Nitric Acid.

Palvi Chemical is a Nitric Acid distributor in Brazil.

Nitric Acid Reactions

The freezing point of nitric acid is −42 °C [−44 °F]. The boiling point of nitric acid is 83 °C [181 °F]. For some acids like sulfuric acid, nitric acid can act as a base.

Some important reactions of Nitric Acid are as follows:

a)      Neutralization with ammonia in formation of ammonium nitrate

b)      Nitration of glycerol and toluene

c)      Manufacturing process of nitrocellulose

d)      Oxidation of metals to the corresponding oxides or nitrates

Properties & Side Effects of Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB)

Image
  Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is a chemical component that can be found in a wide range of personal care and household cleaning products. CAPB is a surfactant that interacts with water, making the molecules slippery and preventing them from sticking together.   When water molecules do not stick together, they are more likely to bond with dirt and oil, and when you rinse the cleaning substance away, the filth also rinses away. CAPB is the component that creates lather in some products.   Cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic fatty acid derived from coconuts; hence it may be present in “natural” products. Nonetheless, some products containing this component may induce adverse side effects.   Palvi Chemicals is one of the most popular CAPB suppliers in Ghana . Properties of CAPB: ●      Cocamidopropyl betaine is a foam booster found in shampoos. ●      It is a medium-strength surfactant that is also found in ba...

Difference between Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Ether Sulfate (SLES)

  Chemical Formula: CH3(CH2)10CH2(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na   SLES stands for Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate. It appears as a yellowish-white paste and functions as an anionic surfactant or detergent in a variety of cleaning and personal care products, such as soaps and cosmetics.   Palvi Chemicals is one of the most popular Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate suppliers in Ghana .   SLES is used as a cleansing ingredient in a variety of goods in everyday life. Natural sources of Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate liquid include coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is plainly seen in the ingredients section of the shampoo packet or container.   Surfactant sodium lauryl ether sulphate liquid is widely used. SLES, as a surfactant, lowers the surface tension between the product's constituents, and as a result of this unique characteristic, it makes an excellent foaming and washing agent. SLES is also widely used in household cleaners, self-care, and cosmetics products.  ...

Some Important Facts About Manganese Sulfate

Image
It is common knowledge that manganese sulphate monohydrate functions as a micronutrient in plants. The fact that it is essential to the process of photosynthesis makes it one of the most fascinating aspects of the molecule. Manganese sulphate is an essential component in the production of all plant-based products. The therapy of nutritional deficiencies frequently involves the use of manganese sulphate manufactured and supplied by one of the popular Manganese Sulphate exporters in Ecuador . The human body requires very minute amounts of the mineral known as manganese, which is classified as a trace element. It is necessary for the brain, the neurological system, and a good number of the enzyme systems in your body to operate normally because of this. Even while your pancreas, liver, kidneys, as well as bones, may store up to roughly 20 mg of manganese between them, you still need to obtain it from your diet in order to maintain healthy levels. The mineral manganese is regarded to be an...
