In this video I make some pure, anhydrous nitric acid along with its weaker cousins and do beautiful experiments with them while rethinking the meaning of chemistry and having way too much nitrogen dioxide around.

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language, so I have some trouble with pronunciation - in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.
