Question

Copper reacts with nitric acid balanced equation

Answer 1

Answer:

4 HNO3(l) + Cu(s) ==> Cu(NO3)2(s and aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)

Explanation:

The copper nitrate salt that forms is a deep blue color. The nitrogen dioxide is a orange vapor.

Answer 2

Nitric acid reacts with copper according to the reaction: 4 HNO3(l) + Cu(s) ==> Cu(NO3)2(s and aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)

The copper nitrate salt that forms is a deep blue color. The nitrogen dioxide is a orange vapour.
