# Nitric Acid > Canonical source: [Nitric Acid](https://satisfactorybase.its-live.dev/wiki/items/nitric-acid) > Language: en Produced when Nitrogen Gas reacts with Water. Its high corrosiveness and oxidizing properties make it an excellent choice for refinement and fuel production processes. ## Properties - Entity type: Item - Form: liquid - Stack size: 50 m³ - Radioactive: No - Can be discarded: Yes ## Produced by ### [Nitric Acid](/wiki/recipes/recipe-nitricacid-c) 6 s.
