*Nitric acid(HNO3) 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.

Being a strong oxidising agent it converts h2 gas into water and reduces itself into NO,NO2,N2O.
