उत्तर
In the laboratory preparation of nitric acid, the mixture of concentrated sulphuric acid and sodium nitrate should not be heated very strongly, above 200°C because a higher temperature can cause following problems:
1. Nitric acid would decompose to form nitrogen dioxide.
2. Sodium sulphate is formed which may stick to the glass and cannot be removed easily.
3. The glass apparatus may break.
