Question

give reason for the following (i)nitric acid is not selected general prepare hydrogen gas in laboratory (ii)copper metal cannot displace hydrogen form dilute acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

nitric acid, even in its dilute form, is not used in the preparation of hydrogen from metals because it is a powerful oxidising agent and oxygen formed due to its decomposition oxidises hydrogen to give water, thus defeating the purpose of the reaction.
