Question

EXPLAIN WHY H2 GAS NOT PRODUCED WHEN METALS REACT WITH NITRIC ACID?​

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

Answer:

H2 gas is not evolved when metals reacts with nitric acid because nitric acid reacts as a oxidising agent that changes the H2 gas evolved into water(H2O)
