Nitric acid, represented by the chemical formula HNO3, is a highly corrosive and strong mineral acid with a range of industrial applications. Known for its colorless to yellowish appearance and pungent odor, nitric acid is extensively used in the production of fertilizers, explosives, and various chemicals. It is also employed in the etching and pickling of metals, serving as a key component in the manufacture of electronic components and metals like steel and copper. In laboratories, nitric acid finds utility in analytical and chemical testing procedures, while in the field of pharmacology, it is crucial for synthesizing pharmaceuticals. Due to its caustic nature, handling nitric acid requires careful precautions, and its storage and transportation are subject to strict safety regulations.

For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.

Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.

To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.

The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.

Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
