Question

how to make nitric acid using ingredients at home​

Answer 1

Deriving nitric acid from copper.

Dissolve 80 grams (2.8 oz) of nitrate salt in 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) of water. Start by portioning out your nitrate salt into a small glass mixing container. Then, pour in all of the water at once.

Answer 2

Answer:

The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercially available nitric acid has a concentration of 68% in water. When the solution contains more than 86% HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as red fuming nitric acid at concentrations above 86%, or white fuming nitric acid at concentrations above 95%.

Nitric acid is the primary reagent used for nitration – the addition of a nitro group, typically to an organic molecule. While some resulting nitro compounds are shock- and thermally-sensitive explosives, a few are stable enough to be used in munitions and demolition, while others are still more stable and used as pigments in inks and dyes. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
