Question

Nitric Acid dissolves in water, forming an acidic solution. Give three distinct tests ( apart from using an indicator) you would carry out on this solution to illustrate the typical properties of an acid. Give relevant reactions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Three tests are: HCl gas gives thick white fumes of ammonium chloride when glass rod dipped in ammonia solution is held near the vapours of the acid. With silver nitrate HCl gives white precipitate of silver chloride. The precipitate is insoluble in nitric acid but soluble in ammonium hydroxide.
