What can't nitric acid be loaded above?

Another product
A classification division chart
Both A and B
A separate container

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Nitric acid is a highly corrosive and reactive substance that requires careful handling and storage to prevent dangerous reactions. It poses specific risks, particularly when it comes into contact with other materials. Because of its properties, it should never be loaded above another product. Doing so could lead to contamination, unintended chemical reactions, or even dangerous spills if the containers were to leak. Additionally, nitric acid must also adhere to classifications regarding its storage and transport. Loading it above a classification division chart implies that certain safety standards and protocols are not being honored. Therefore, both the requirement not to load it above another product and the consideration of appropriate classifications highlight the necessity for strict adherence to safety guidelines in handling hazardous materials. Overall, the answer reflects the comprehensive safety requirements for transporting nitric acid and the critical importance of preventing conditions that might lead to accidents or hazardous exposure.
