Product Description

Detailed information about the product

Product Overview

Nitric Acid 69% Extra Pure (CAS No. 7697-37-2) is a concentrated aqueous mineral acid characterised by strong proton-donating and oxidising behaviour. It reacts with suitable metals, inorganic compounds, and organic substrates while introducing nitrate species into compatible chemical systems. These properties give nitric acid broad relevance in acidification, oxidation, dissolution, and nitrate-preparation procedures.

The Extra Pure grade is intended for routine laboratory preparation, inorganic and organic synthesis, research, and educational work requiring a dependable concentrated nitric acid reagent. It is suitable for preparing acidic reaction media, producing nitrate compounds, treating compatible materials, and carrying out general laboratory procedures where controlled acidity and oxidising action are required.

Typical Applications

  • Preparation of nitrate salts and nitrate-containing reagents
  • Acidification of laboratory solutions and reaction mixtures
  • Oxidation of suitable inorganic and organic substances
  • Dissolution and treatment of compatible metals and mineral materials
  • Preparation of acidic media for laboratory synthesis
  • Routine sample treatment and preparative chemistry
  • Research and educational studies involving mineral acids and nitrate chemistry

Common Synonyms

  • Hydrogen Nitrate
  • Aqua Fortis
  • Azotic Acid

Storage Conditions

Store in the original, tightly closed, chemically compatible container in a cool and well-ventilated location. Protect the solution from direct sunlight, excessive heat, contamination, and prolonged exposure to air. Reseal the container promptly after dispensing to preserve its concentration and reagent quality.
