hi all have a nice day may anybody explain to me to store dangerous chemicals at home such as nitric acid HCL and cholorofarm i have 3 of them in totally 1000 ml i kept them in brown bottle with black rubber caps and at a place hardly 12 " away from eachother placed books in between? are they secure ? temp of the place is also high?

these 3 can be stored side by side, only HNO3 and CHCl3 need brown bottles, but dont put books near HNO3, it will nitrate cellulose into flammable nitrocellulose.
Whats ur room temperature? u should have also mentioned it instead of saying the vague term "temp of the place is also high".
