Hno3 3hcl

The compound HNO3·3HCl is a molecular complex consisting of one molecule of nitric acid (HNO3) and three molecules of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The complex is also known as nitric acid trihydrate.

The complex is formed through hydrogen bonding between the nitric acid and hydrochloric acid molecules. The hydrogen bonds are formed between the oxygen atoms in the nitric acid molecule and the hydrogen atoms in the hydrochloric acid molecules.

The HNO3·3HCl complex is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. When dissolved in water, the complex dissociates into its constituent acids, releasing H+ and NO3- ions from the nitric acid and H+ and Cl- ions from the hydrochloric acid.

The HNO3·3HCl complex has a melting point of around 50°C and decomposes at higher temperatures. It is a strong oxidizing agent and is commonly used in the production of explosives, dyes, and other chemicals.
