hey made this is a question of chemistry
nitric acid does not liberate hydrogen gas because it is a powerful oxidizing agent and it oxidizes hydrogen during the action

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.
