Nitric Acid 53 %

Nitric acid 53% is a highly reactive laboratory chemical with a wide range of applications. In its concentration it is capable of oxidizing and nitriding a range of materials, being used in inorganic chemistry to produce salts and oxides. It is composed of nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen dissolved in water, which leads to its strongly acidic nature. Thanks to its properties, it is also used in organic chemistry, where it contributes to the nitration of organic molecules. Nitric acid 53% also finds application in metallurgy, where it is used to passivate stainless steel and etch metals. The results of its application vary depending on the field of use, from the synthesis of new compounds to the cleaning and treatment of metal surfaces.
