Copper not dissolving in nitric acid
« on: December 24, 2023, 03:42:38 PM »
Recently ive bought some copper wire online, when added into 70% nitric acid it did not dissolve despite stirring and waiting. Has anyone else encountered this before and how can i fix this issue? I know the acid is 70% because ive used it before to dissolve pennies and in nitration.

What kind of wire did you bought. Is it to produce coppercoil.
This wire is coated with a special paint. Take some and burn it in a flame, after that it should dissolve in acid.
