QUESTION
If nitric acid is derived from the nitrate ion, what is the formula for nitric acid?
Nitrate anion is the conjugate base of nitric acid......
And thus nitrate anion is nitric acid LESS a proton, ##H^+##.
So we add a proton to the conjugate base, we get the original acid:
##NO_3^(-) + H^(+) rarr HNO_3##
