State two conditions which affect the decomposition of nitric acid
Dear Student,
Two conditions which affect the decomposition of nitric acid are as follows:
1.presence of sunlight
2.High Temperature
at high temperature the following decomposition reaction takes place:
The decomposition of nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide, oxygen and water. This reaction slowly takes place in the concentrated solution, at room temperature, initiated by the absorption of energy in the form of light.
Regards
