Question

what is different between nitric acid and carbondeoxide? ​

Answer 1

Nitric acid is a highly acidic substance and a strong oxidizing agent. Its physical state is a colorless or slightly yellowish liquid. The chemical formula of nitric acid is HNO3 and it is made up of one hydrogen atom, one nitrogen atom, and three oxygen atoms.

CO - carbon monoxide and CO2 - carbon dioxide are often confused. The names sound the same, they both are colorless and odorless gases, and at high concentrations, both can be deadly. The difference is that CO2 is a common, naturally occurring gas required for all plant and animal life. CO is not common.
