Physical and Chemical Properties
Nitric Acid (HNO3) is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow inorganic acid. It is a strong monobasic acid and a powerful oxidizing agent.
Nitric acid is a highly corrosive mineral acid. The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercial available nitric acid has a concentration of 68% in water.
