Elite Engineer Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Trying to synthesize nitric acid, but I only have a distillation kit with a rubber stopper..would this be an issue? I've heard NA under 80% isn't that bad, but experience is far more valued. ~EE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If you don't have the right kit you shouldn't be trying to distil nitric acid. If you don't have the right knowledge you shouldn't be trying to distil nitric acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Engineer Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've distilled it before, but with an all glass distillation kit...never with rubber stoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enthalpy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nor is "rubber" accurate enough. Dozens of formulations exist, of very different nature and origin. Most are seriously reactive, especially to oxidizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
