HNO3 is a good oxidising agent and whenever it reacts with some metal it oxidise the H2 produced.
Thus forming water or H2O.
The products formed are
Metal nitrate + water
Hope it helps
but what is the reason of being a good oxidizing agent?
Because it formes nascent oxygen on decomposition
2HNO3(cons.)>>>> On heating
Gives 2NO+ 2H2O+3O
Hope it helps
oh ok
