The "colored clouds and mist" reported by certain Gulf War veterans were probably caused by exposure to the Inhibited Red version of this compound used as a rocket fuel oxidizer by the Iraqis. When solid morphine is added to this substance, it becomes yellowish red. It is useful in detecting alkaloids when combined with sulfuric acid in Erdmann's reagent. Combining a carboxylic acid with an ethanolic solution of silver nitrate yields this compound as one of its products. Its synthesis is rapid and can occur with or without palladium added to the basic 90% platinum 10% rhodium catalyst. Its dilute form is used with silver (*) nitrate in a test for larger halides and it has a fuming form. It is mostly used to make fertilizers and combines with hydrochloric acid to form aqua regia. For 10 points, name this compound synthesized from ammonia via the Ostwald process, a strong acid symbolized HNO3.
