Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Type of reaction.
When sodium nitrate is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, nitric acid vapours are liberated.
Step 2: Balanced reaction.
\[ NaNO_3 + H_2SO_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} NaHSO_4 + HNO_3 \uparrow \] Step 3: Conclusion.
This is the laboratory method of preparing nitric acid.
