Abstract
The adsorption of nitric acid vapor on the ice surface was studied at −20°C. Adsorption took place in three stages: surface initialization, formation of a monolayer and formation of a multilayer. The results of elution of a multilayer deposit indicated the formation of a hydrate whose vapor pressure was estimated to be a maximum of 1.5 ± 0.5 ×10−6 torr.Keywords
