Which one of the following is used in the preparation of cellulose nitrate?
- A \(\mathrm{KNO}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\)
- C \(\mathrm{KNO}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{HNO}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Treatment of cellulose with \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) gives cellulose nitrate, which is a very important substance for the manufacture of explosives (gun powder), medicines, paints, lacquers, etc.
