Question
What is the type of salt formed when the reactants are heated at a suitable temperature for the preparation of Nitric acid?
Advertisements
Solution
Sodium or potassium nitrate in reaction with H SO2 4 can produce nitric acid in that case sulphate salt
will be prepared
`2NaNO_3 + H_2SO_4 -> 2HNO_3 + Na_2SO_4`
