ASSERTION: Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal react with nitric acid.
REASON: Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
- Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- When metal reacts with nitric acid hydrogen gas is not produced. Because nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that oxidizes hydrogen gas to form water.
- Nitric acid can easily reduce nitrogen. Nitric acid oxidizes inorganic and organic compounds, as well as metals and non-metals.
- Nitric acid is a strong oxidizer and the oxygen formed upon decomposition oxidizes it to water. Therefore, it oxidizes the hydrogen gas formed during the reaction to form water and an oxide of nitrogen (NO, NO₂, N₂O).
- Since nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent hydrogen is not produced when metal reacts with nitric acid.
