Nitric Acid, NO5.—Nitric acid is the most import-ant of all the combinations of nitrogen and oxygen, and isthe source from whence most of the compounds of nitrogenare generally obtained. 334. History.—It was known to the alchemists, but its true compositionwas first determined by Cavendish in 1785. The name formerly applied to it,and which is
