Explain why only all glass apparatus should be used for the preparation of nitric acid by heating concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium nitrate?

Open in App

Solution

Nitric acid vapour are highly corrosive in nature.
Nitric acid is a highly fuming liquid (Nitric acid is kept in a reagent bottle).
It corrodes cork and rubber of apparatus.
When it is spread in air it corrode all the apparatus.
