Nitric Acid 2%-2.5Lt
Nitric Acid 2% is a very dilute aqueous solution of nitric acid (approx. 2 g HNO₃ per 100 mL solution) commonly used for gentle acidification, sample preparation, and controlled reactions in analytical chemistry and laboratory experiments. Its low concentration minimizes corrosive effects while providing sufficient acidity for specific applications.
