|Section2= |Section3= }} Red fuming nitric acid (RFNA) is a storable oxidizer used as a rocket propellant. It consists of 84% nitric acid (), 13% dinitrogen tetroxide and 1–2% water. The color of red fuming nitric acid is due to the dinitrogen tetroxide, which breaks down partially to form nitrogen dioxide. The nitrogen dioxide dissolves until the liquid is saturated, and evaporates off into fumes with a suffocating odor. RFNA increases the flammability of combustible materials and is highly exothermic when reacting with water. It is usually used with an inhibitor (with various, sometimes secret, substances, including hydrogen fluoride; any such combination is called "inhibited RFNA" IRFNA) because nitric acid attacks most container materials. It can also be a component of a monopropellant; with substances like amine nitrates dissolved in it, it can be used as the sole fuel in a rocket. It is not normally used this way however. During World War II, the German military used RFNA in some rockets. The mixtures used were called S-Stoff (96% nitric acid with 4% ferric chloride as an ignition catalyst〔) and SV-Stoff (94% nitric acid with 6% dinitrogen tetroxide) and nicknamed ''Salbei'' (sage). Inhibited RFNA was the oxidizer of the world's most-launched light orbital rocket, the Kosmos-3M. Other uses for RFNA include fertilizers, dye intermediates, explosives, and pharmaceutic aid as acidifier. It can also be used as a laboratory reagent in photoengraving and metal etching. ==Compositions== * IRFNA IIIa: 83.4% HNO3, 14% NO2, 2% H2O, 0.6% HF * IRFNA IV HDA: 54.3% HNO3, 44% NO2, 1% H2O, 0.7% HF * S-Stoff: 96% HNO3, 4% FeCl3 * SV-Stoff: 94% HNO3, 6% N2O4 * AK20: 80% HNO3, 20% N2O4 * AK20F: 80% HNO3, 20% N2O4, fluorine-based inhibitor * AK20I: 80% HNO3, 20% N2O4, iodine-based inhibitor * AK20K: 80% HNO3, 20% N2O4, fluorine-based inhibitor * AK27I: 73% HNO3, 27% N2O4, iodine-based inhibitor * AK27P: 73% HNO3, 27% N2O4, fluorine-based inhibitor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「red fuming nitric acid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
