Nitric Acid 8M (8N) Standardized Solution

Nitric Acid 8M (8N) is used in applications such as metal etching, nitrate synthesis, analytical chemistry, and as a reagent in titration and oxidation reactions due to its strong acidic and oxidizing properties.

Nitric Acid 8M (8N) is prepared by carefully diluting concentrated nitric acid with distilled water to achieve the desired concentration. It is then standardized by titration to ensure accurate molarity, often using a primary standard.

Handling Nitric Acid 8M (8N) requires wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and lab coats, to prevent skin and eye contact. Ensure that you work in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety protocols to avoid inhaling fumes.

Store Nitric Acid 8M (8N) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances like bases and reducing agents. Use containers made of materials resistant to its corrosive nature, such as glass or certain plastics, and ensure they are properly labeled.

In titration, Nitric Acid 8M (8N) is used to accurately react with bases to determine the concentration of unknown alkaline solutions. Its high molarity makes it suitable for titrations requiring strong acidic solutions.

For nitric acid, a monoprotic acid, molarity (M) and normality (N) are equivalent. Both 8M and 8N refer to a concentration of eight moles of nitric acid per liter of solution, as it donates one hydrogen ion per molecule.

Yes, Nitric Acid 8M (8N) can be purchased online from chemical suppliers. Ensure that you choose a reputable supplier who complies with regulations for shipping hazardous materials and provides a material safety data sheet (MSDS). At ibuychemikals, we offer all mandatory documents when you buy nitric acid from us.

In case of skin contact, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If it enters the eyes, flush with water and seek medical attention promptly. Always follow emergency protocols and seek professional medical assistance if needed.

Disposal of Nitric Acid 8M (8N) should follow local environmental regulations. It is usually neutralized with a base, such as sodium bicarbonate, before disposal.
