It was first discovered by Cady that when fluorine is bubbled through 3 N nitric acid, then a remarkable compound, fluorine nitrate ($\ce{FNO3}$) is formed. It boils at -42 ℃ and is a very strong oxidizing agent and is capable of liberating iodine from iodides and in gaseous states, it explodes around 200-300 ℃.

It was first discovered by Cady that when fluorine is bubbled through $\pu{3 N}$ nitric acid, then a remarkable compound, fluorine nitrate ($\ce{FNO3}$) is formed. It boils at $\pu{-42 ^\circ C}$ and is a very strong oxidizing agent and is capable of liberating iodine from iodides and in gaseous states, it explodes around $\pu{200-300 ^\circ C}$.
