Non-renewable resource

used for many years as an oxidant. It has the characteristics to ionise readily in a solution. Nitric acid can react with metals, hydroxides, and oxides. (Frane, Herber and Knowles, 2015). Since Nitric acid is a powerful oxidant, it can react with non- metallic compounds and cause explosion contingent on the temperature, concentration, and reducing agent (Nitric acid, 2015). Even though nitric acid is relatively inexpensive to use as an oxidant, it can produce various nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen…

Drilling for oil in the Arctic is one solution to the high cost of fuel…
