Question

what happen when metal react with nitric acid? how it differ from the reaction of metal with dilute acid ( cls 10 )​

Answer 1

When metals react with nitric acid hydrogen gas is liberated. Nitric acid is a very strong oxidizing agent. So , it oxidizes the hydrogen gas formed during the reaction to form water and an oxide of nitrogen ( NO,N2O,NO2 etc. ). Magnesium and manganese react with very dilute nitric acid to liberate hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
