explain in detail . reaction of metals with acids . what happen if it is nitric acid .
Answers
Answer:
Explanation: When an acid reacts with metal, a salt and hydrogen are produced: acid + metal → salt + hydrogen An example: nitric acid + calcium → calcium nitrate + hydrogen The salt that is produced depends upon which acid and which metal react.
Other Explanation;
Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid. It is because HNO3 is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises the H2 produced to water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2). But magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn) react with very dilute HNO3 to evolve H2 gas.
Answer:
metal + acid gives hydrogen gas and salt
Explanation:
nitric acid strong oxidizing agent. when react with metal it would reduced to to some nitrogen oxide and the hydrogen gas evolved would convert into water . when reacting with magnesium it would produce hydrogen gas
