Heya,

⏩ Metals do not evolve hydrogen gas with nitric acid because it is a strong oxidising agent.

⏩ The Hydrogen gas produced during its reaction with metal gets oxidised to H2O.

⏩ Hence no hydrogen gas is produced. Instead it evolves nitric oxides such as NO2,NO etc.

HOPE IT HELPS:)

jarpana2003: wow its an great answer

parmarabhay: Metals do not evolve hydrogen gas with nitric gas because it is a strong oxidizing agent. Hence the H2 gas produced during the reaction get oxidised due to H2O. That's why metals do not evolve H2 gas with nitric acid

Nitric acid(HNO3) is a strong oxidising agent. The Hydrogen gasproduced during its reaction withmetal gets oxidised to H2O, hence no hydrogen gas is produced. Instead itevolves nitric oxides such as NO2,NOetc.
