Questions 4.5.1
- Write the chemical formula of nitric (V) acid.
- Identify the negative and positive ions in nitric (V) acid.
- Name the class of salts which have the same negative ions as in nitric (V) acid.
- Name the class of compounds which have hydrogen ions.
- Identify two substances you can react together to produce nitric (V) acid in the laboratory.
- Write an equation for laboratory preparation of pure nitric (V) acid (not mixed with water).
- In this method, heating is required and nitric (V) acid is produced as a vapour. Explain how you would change the vapour into liquid (V) nitric acid.
- Draw a possible set-up you would use to prepare nitric (V) acid in the laboratory. Heating is required.
- Write an equation for thermal decomposition of nitric (V) acid vapour.
- Suggest a reason why concentrated sulphuric (VI) acid is more suitable than concentrated hydrochloric acid in preparing nitric (V) acid.
NB: Pure nitric (V) acid is colourless. However, due to heating, some nitric (V) acid thermally decomposes into water, oxygen and nitrogen (IV) oxide. Nitrogen (IV) oxide dissolves in the rest of the acid, causing it to appear yellow. The yellow coloration can be removed by bubbling air through the mixture.
