4. EXPLANATION OF STEPS

5. USES OF NITRIC ACID Nitric acid  is  used  in the production of ammonium nitrate for fertilizers, making plastics, and in the manufacture of dyes. It is also  used  for making explosives such as nitroglycerin and TNT. When it is combined with hydrochloric acid, an element called aqua regia is formed.

6. DISADVANTAGES OF NITRIC ACID   Nitric acid  (HNO3) is highly corrosive. If inhaled, it irritates and burns the lungs and throat badly, potentially leading to pulmonary edema and death. If it's swallowed, it burns through the lining of the throat and stomach. Finally, note that breathing nitrogen  can kill you  too

7. Hydrochloric Acid

8. Introduction: Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colorless, highly pungent solution of hydrogen chloride ( HCl ) in water. It is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses. Hydrochloric acid is found naturally in gastric acid. As an monoprotic acid and one of the six common strong mineral acids, it is the least likely to be subject to an oxidation-reduction reaction.

9. Manufacturing

10. Methods Synthesis from elements (Burning Process) Organic By-product Synthesis. Metallic chlorides with Sulfuric acid. Waste Incineration. Thermal decomposition of hydrated heavy metals

11. Organic by-product Synthesis Hydrochloric acid is made during chlorination of organic products as follows: RH₂+ Cl ₂→ RCl + HCl Hydrochloric acid is also made during fluorination of chlorinated organic products to manufacture (hydro)chlorofluorocarbons as follows: RCl + HF →RF + HCl Where RCl stands for chloroform, trichloro ethane, etc and RF stands for (hydro) chlorofluorocarbons
