.2 The oxide of nitrogen that is formed when copper is treated with hot and concentrated nitric acid is 1
Answers
Answer:
The reaction produces red-brown nitrogen dioxide gas and a hot, concentrated solution of copper(II) nitrate, which is blue. As the water evaporates and the solution cools, crystals of Cu(NO3)2(s) begin to form.
From the given question the correct answer is :
The reaction produces red-brown nitrogen dioxide gas and a hot, concentrated solution of copper(II) nitrate, which is blue. As the water evaporates and the solution cools, crystals of Cu(NO3)2(s) begin to form.
Dilute nitric acid reacts with copper and produce copper nitrate ( Cu (NO 3) 2 ), nitric oxide (NO) and water as products. In this reaction, copper is oxidized while nitric acid is reduced to nitric oxide. After the reaction, solution which contains Cu (NO 3) 2 is blue color.
