Answer:
Generally, when metals are treated with mineral acids, hydrogen gas is liberated but when metals (except Mn and Mg) are treated with HNO3, hydrogen is not liberated, why? Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong oxidising agent. ... So, in the reaction of metals (except Mn and Mg) with dilute nitric acid, no hydrogen gas is evolved.
