Obtained through catalytic oxidation of ammonia, nitric acid is a colorless and transparent liquid with an irritant odor and is corrosive and emits smoke.
It slightly decomposes even at ordinary temperature, and heating or direct sunlight promotes further decomposition, resulting in a change of color to yellow or brown.
