Identify the melting point and boiling point of nitric acid: melting point is -42ºC and boiling point is 83ºC.
Understand that the physical state of a substance depends on its temperature relative to its melting and boiling points.
If the temperature is below the melting point, the substance is in a solid state.
If the temperature is between the melting point and boiling point, the substance is in a liquid state.
If the temperature is above the boiling point, the substance is in a gaseous state. Since 110ºC is above 83ºC, nitric acid is in the gaseous state at this temperature.
