Make Nitric Acid from Sodium Bisulfate and Sodium Nitrate
In this video we Make Nitric Acid from Sodium Bisulfate and Sodium Nitrate.
I actually try a few methods like dissolving them in water first and varying the amount of reagents. Overall the best method i found was to thoroughly mix 43g of sodium nitrate with 150g of sodium bisulfate and then directly distill off the nitric acid. Yield was about 95% nitric acid at 75% concentration.
To remove unsightly dissolved nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia or urea may be added in small portions to react it away.
