Metals generally react with acids to produce salt and and produce hydrogen gas

These reactions are more complicated. When a metal reacts with an acid, the metal usually reduces hydrogen ions to hydrogen gas. The elemental metal is oxidized to metal cations in the process.

However, nitrate ions are easily reduced to nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Metals reacting with nitric acid, therefore, tend to produce oxides of nitrogen rather than hydrogen gas. If the acid is relatively dilute, the reaction produces nitrogen monoxide, although this immediately reacts with atmospheric oxygen, forming nitrogen dioxide. If concentrated nitric acid is used, nitrogen dioxide is formed directly.

Beryllium

Various sources disagree on whether beryllium reacts with nitric acid. Beryllium forms a strong oxide layer (similar to that of aluminum) which slows reactions down until it has been removed.

Some sources say that beryllium does not react with nitric acid. However, procedures for making beryllium nitrate by reacting beryllium powder with nitric acid are readily available. One source uses semi-concentrated nitric acid, claiming that the gas evolved is nitrogen monoxide. This is a reasonable conclusion.

The reactivity of beryllium seems to depend on its source, and how it was manufactured. It is possible that small amounts of impurities in the metal can affect its reactivity.

The other Group 2 metals

The rest of the Group 2 metals produce hydrogen gas from very dilute nitric acid, but this gas is contaminated with nitrogen oxides. Colorless solutions of the metal nitrates are also formed. Taking magnesium as an example, if the solution is very dilute:

Mg+2HNO3→Mg(NO3)2+H2(3)

At moderate concentrations (even with very dilute acid, this occurs to some extent):

3Mg+8HNO3→3Mg(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O(4)

And with concentrated acid:

Mg+4HNO3→Mg(NO3)2+2NO2+2H2O(5)
