Answers

Answered by kanna2139

Answer:

The presence of small amounts of nitrous acid (HNO2) greatly enhance the rate of reaction. Although chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and aluminium (Al) readily dissolve in dilute nitric acid, the concentrated acid forms a metal-oxide layer that protects the bulk of the metal from further oxidation.
