Product Code : SCL-LC-12282
Nitric Acid (SKU SCL-LC-12282), HNO3, is a strong mineral acid and oxidising agent for supervised nitrate chemistry, acid-base work, analytical preparation and qualitative tests. As a corrosive liquid that can give off harmful fumes, it belongs with trained staff in college and senior-school chemistry laboratories. Colleges, science departments, analytical teaching labs, tender contractors and distributors can source it through Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India based in Ambala.
Specifications
The nitric acid table breaks identity, hazard controls, storage and documents into separate rows. In short, it is HNO3, CAS 7697-37-2, a corrosive oxidising mineral acid sent in a compatible acid container; its concentration, grade and bottle type are stated on the quotation, label and Safety Data Sheet, so check strength before diluting.

Applications and Experiments for Nitric Acid
Trained staff can dispense and dilute the acid for lessons on oxidising-acid behaviour, nitrate chemistry, acid-base principles and analytical sample preparation. Work in a fume hood with acid-resistant gloves, face protection and a rubber Apron for Chem lab, add acid to water when diluting, and keep it from bases, metals and organics.
- NCERT Class 12 chemistry (p-block elements): nitric acid as an oxidising acid, shown by the teacher.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: dilute nitric acid in confirmatory anion tests run in Test Tubes.
- B.Sc. analytical chemistry: acid preparation of samples under a written method.
- 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, shelf-life detail 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 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 join 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. Name the strength your method calls for on the contact page, collect acids and bases in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for institutional procurement.
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 emergency washing facilities within reach.
Who supplies the Nitric Acid?
The acid ships from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, in a compatible acid container, accompanied by its Safety Data Sheet and the transport documents that hazardous liquids require.
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.
