Nitric Acid, formerly known as Aqua Fortis is a common chemical in laboratories. However it is usually noticed that bottles containing it gets yellowish stains.
This is because nitric acid decomposes in the presence of heart or sunlight to form nitrogen dioxide which gives the solution a yellowish appearance.
HNO³ ---------> NO² + H²O + O²
The above reaction takes place in the bottles. A major point to be noted is that this reaction can take place even if there is a feeble quantity of heart or sunlight.
