Product Code : SCL-LC-12282
Nitric Acid (SKU SCL-LC-12282), HNO3, is a strong mineral acid and oxidising agent used in supervised nitrate chemistry, acid-base work, analytical preparation and qualitative tests. As a corrosive liquid that can release harmful fumes, it belongs with trained staff in college and senior-school chemistry laboratories. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to colleges, science departments, analytical teaching labs, tender contractors and distributors seeking a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.
Specifications
The reagent is nitric acid, a corrosive oxidising mineral acid supplied in a compatible acid container. Its concentration, grade, assay and bottle type are not assumed here: they are stated on the quotation, the label and the Safety Data Sheet for the batch you order, so check strength before diluting.

Applications and Experiments for Nitric Acid
Trained staff dispense and dilute the acid for teaching oxidising-acid behaviour, nitrate chemistry, acid-base principles and analytical sample preparation. Work in a fume hood, wear acid-resistant gloves and face protection, add acid to water when diluting, and keep it away from bases, metals, organics and reducing agents.
- NCERT Class 12 chemistry (p-block elements): properties of nitric acid as an oxidising acid, shown by the teacher.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: dilute nitric acid in confirmatory anion tests.
- B.Sc. analytical chemistry: acid preparation of samples under a written method.
- Laboratory safety training: corrosive acid storage, spill response and waste segregation.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply comprises one container of Nitric Acid with a batch label, the Safety Data Sheet and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. The quotation states the concentration and pack size.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a price for one container or for acid stock across several laboratories; every quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for the quantity stated. Corrosive liquids are packed for transport as their documents require, and other acids, bases or glassware can be included on the same quote.
As an exporter registered under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh, subject to hazardous-goods rules. Contact the team on the contact page, list your items in the enquiry cart, or consult the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What concentration of Nitric Acid is supplied?
The concentration is confirmed for each order on the quotation, label and Safety Data Sheet. Tell us the strength your method needs when you ask for a quote, and check the label before any dilution.
Is this acid hazardous?
Yes. It is corrosive and oxidising and its fumes are harmful. Use it only in a fume hood or ventilated area with acid-resistant gloves and eye or face protection, with an emergency eyewash within reach.
Who supplies the Nitric Acid?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this reagent from Ambala, India, in a compatible acid container with its Safety Data Sheet and transport documents.
Can school students use nitric acid?
Only as a dilute solution prepared by trained staff, in institutions that permit it, with the teacher controlling dispensing and disposal. Concentrated acid must never be issued to students.
Related Acids, Bases and Nitrates
Stockrooms that hold nitric acid usually keep another mineral acid, a base for neutralisation and nitrate salts for comparison. These four items from the same Lab Chemicals range fill that shelf and can be combined with the acid on a single quotation and one set of transport documents.
- Ortho Phosphoric Acid 85% — concentrated inorganic acid for controlled analytical work.
- Ammonium Hydroxide — aqueous ammonia, a weak alkali for pH adjustment.
- Potassium Nitrate — nitrate salt for solubility and nitrate-ion lessons.
- Copper Nitrate — copper nitrate salt for solution preparation and analysis.
