Nitric Acid
in Science News
Posted
I need help figuring out how to safely handle a bottle of nitric acid that has white crystals on the cap. I know that it is Ammonium Nitrate, which is explosive. How concerned should I be with this? I was told that a single spark could set it off. I am afraid to open the cabinet that it is in or to pick up the bottle. I want to dispose of this but am not sure how to handle it to do so. In other words, I don't want to blow my arm or any other body parts off. Can anyone help me out?
