Nitric acid is one of the few acids that can react with copper. But oddly enough, it doesn’t work well when the acid is pure. This is because of something called passivation where layer of oxidized copper forms and it covers the surface and protects the copper. To get it going, I have to add some water, which will dissolve the protective layer and let the acid attack it. This more dilute acid can completely shred all the metal until it completely dissolves.

i’m pretty sure he could’ve added salt
That's the most acid looking acid I've seen
what did that copper wire ever do to you
Remember kids, always drop acid (unless you’re NileRed)
Monster
Try Chlorine Trifluoride now :3
I got jump scared when he put that water in there I thought it would be a small reaction 😭
Pretty colors
That looked like bromine
I never expected water to be that badass 😂😂😂.
HNO3 doesn't play well with others 😉
Is this what hell looks like
So when we going to figure out one of these acids can break his test tubes
Aren’t all acids inherently a water based solution? The concept of pH is directly tied to this, no?
Copper: "But what about my thermodynamic inertia?"
Chemist: 'what about it?"
Add some alcohol to it and you've got revival fluid. Just in case the whole world turns to stone one day😉
Why you should not add water to acid:
That's honestly pretty unsettling
What will happen if you put hydrogen peroxide in nitric acid?
What are you referring to as “pure”? Concentrate Nitric Acid is only about 70%. Azeotrope. Are you starting with fuming nitric acid, or commercial concentrated nitric acid?
i suggest su put some alchool on the acidic copper nitrate solution
Lesson: Don’t put out a nitric acid burn with water.
🎵 Doofenschmirtz Evil Incoporateeeeeeed 🎵
just add water
Is the metal dissolved in the liquid and can it be recovered ?
Omg Senku would be all over that. Dr stone fans back me up! 👋
🤔 interesting
