Question
Why should the temperature of the reaction mixture of nitric acid not be allowed to rise above 200oC?

Solution
At high temperature, nitric acid decomposes and the glass apparatus may get damaged. Sodium formed at a higher temperature forms a hard crust which sticks to the walls of the retort.
