TitlePaper, 'The conditions of the formation and decomposition of nitrous acid' by Victor Herbert Veley
Date1892
DescriptionVeley writes: 'Throughout the whole science of chemistry there is possibly no reagent so frequently represented as taking part in various trans­formations, but of which so little definite is known, as nitrous acid. In many text-books its properties are cursorily discussed in a few lines, while some writers have gone so far as to deny its existence altogether even in the presence of nitric acid.'
