why nitric oxide does not oxidise the h2 gas produced in the reaction with magnesium and manganese

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.
For Eg:
Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq)--->Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Hey friend how are you ?

It does, if the Nitric acid is dilute. If the HNO3 is concentrated the gas produced is a mixture of oxides of nitrogen, because concentrated nitric acid is a powerful oxidising agent and can oxidise free hydrogen to water..
HOPE THIS HELPS :D
