Nitric acid (HNO3) is a highly corrosive and colourless liquid acid. It’s a powerful oxidising agent used in various industrial applications, including the production of fertilisers, explosives, and chemicals. Nitric acid is also crucial in laboratory settings for analytical purposes. However, it must be handled with extreme care due to its corrosive and potentially hazardous nature.
The Nitrite Test Kit utilizing the New Drop Method is a precise solution for measuring nitrite levels in various aqueous systems, from water quality analysis to industrial applications, ensuring accurate results.

Numerous gases are present in our environment. But do you know which gas makes up the majority of the composition? It is nitrous oxide. If we go into the specifics of the makeup of the atmosphere, it is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, and minute amounts of carbon dioxide, krypton, and hydrogen.
Nitrogen gas has two molecules of Nitrogen therefore, the molecular formula of this gas is N2. It is a non-metallic element that occupies Group 15 of the periodic table.
Nitrogen gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, which was discovered by a well-known scientist named Daniel Rutherford in 1772.
However, its name was derived from the Greek words ‘nitrogen’ and ‘genes’ which means niter forming.
