  1. boiling sulphuric acid untill dense white fumes comes off gives it about a concentration of 98% then you stop boiling the yellow tint might be the sulphur breaking down if you have heated it to long thats all i can say about the yellow tint it may be wrong or unless it had some impurites in the glass you used or the sulphuric acid, but the dense white fumes is the sign that its about 98% concentrated

  2. no im talking about the potassium nitrate/sulphuric acid solution to make nitric acid what temperature should that be heated with the sulphuric acid about 98% concentrated is it 150c 80-90c or another temperature, im not going to concentrate the 38% nitric acid from http://www.growell.co.uk because it might have impurites and to get rid of the impurites as well as concentrating it you will need sulphuric acid and to distill it it works out cheaper just to make your own from potassium nitrate and sulphuric acid

  3. yt if you are still here what temperature should i heat the solution somebody else said 150c which seems way to much to me and i have read some where else which gave a very short discription that you should heat it about 80-90c which one is it or is it non of the above and another temperature
