Q. 2 Why metals do not give Hydrogen gas while reacting with Nitric acid?​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid because nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent; it oxidizes the hydrogen to produce water. When a metal reacts with nitric acid, no hydrogen gas is produced. It's because HNO3 is a strong oxidizer.

Answer 2

Answer:

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).
