Nitric acid is obtained by distilling conc. sulphuric acid with potassium KNO3 (nitre) or sodium nitrate at a temperature less than 200°C.

 

The temperature of the reaction should not exceed 200°C because sodium sulphate formed at a higher temperature forms a hard crust which sticks to the walls of the retort and is difficult to remove.
