After searching for the reasons why, I found that bubbling oxygen through ammonium hydroxide creates nitrogen monoxide (NO1, nitric oxide not to be confused with N2O, nitrous oxide). nitric oxide + oxygen create nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 creates nitric acid when bubbled through water. This method is used when making nitric acid for commercial use and operates at 800C with a platinum catalyst. There has been experiments into endothermic reactions of these gasses in the atmosphere. I am wondering whether or not bubbling pure oxygen (relatively pure) through ammonia hydroxide is enough to start the reaction of making NO1 in solution. There are youtube videos showing the red vapors being emitted but i wanted to check here before i try anything.

I really do not think you would get nitric from bubbling oxygen into ammonia or an ammonium solution of ammonium hydroxide, there is nothing to oxidize the ammonia.

It would not be an easy task to oxidize the ammonia gas to nitrogen, this is done with high pressure and a hot catalyst of platinum (or some other catalytic reaction), I do not see where this would be a simple thing to do on a small scale in the back yard.

I'm not sure where it fits into the equation, but nitric acid is created from the waste stream generated from making Ammonium (Sulfate/nitrate ??? I don't remember which) fertilizer.
My father worked for Simplot, a large fertilizer plant here in CA and we talked about his work when he was alive. Its been 9 years since he passed, so many questions I have now, go unanswered.
He was my source of free nitric while he was alive.

On a side note,
your nitric oxide (No1) is becoming a popular party drug, be careful in your searching for information regarding its production as the LEO's are watching.

I think you mean N₂O or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) . Not the same as nitric oxide (NO) or nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)

No I was correct with the No1 (nitric oxide) not nitrous oxide
