Preparation And Properties Of Nitric Acid (1959)

This film explores the chemistry of nitric acid, focusing on its production, acidic properties, and oxidizing capabilities. It demonstrates the laboratory preparation of nitric acid through the reaction of sodium nitrate and sulfuric acid, showcasing its physical properties, such as being a colorless liquid with a low boiling point. The film further illustrates nitric acid's behavior with indicators and active metals, highlighting reactions that produce hydrogen gas and various nitrogen oxides. It also examines the oxidizing strength of nitric acid at different concentrations and provides methods to test for nitrate ions in solution.
