ANSWER:-
In the reaction of Copper and Nitric acid, Copper nitrate, nitric oxide and water are produced.

Step I:Write the unbalanced chemical equation for the given reaction.

Cu + HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + NO + H2O

Step II: List the number of atoms of the various elements present in the unbalanced equation in the form of a table.

Step III: In the next step, select a compound, which contains the maximum number of atoms. In this case, the compound will be copper nitrate (it has 1 atoms of Cu, 2 atoms of N, and 6 atoms of O). From this compound, select the element, which has the maximum number of atoms i.e., oxygen in this case. To balance the number of oxygen atoms, we can multiply copper nitrate present on the right hand side by 3 (as shown below).
Now, the equation becomes:

Cu + 8HNO3 → 3Cu(NO3)2 + NO + H2O

Again, compare the number of atoms of the various elements present in the chemical equation (as shown in the table below).
Step IV: As the atoms of oxygen are balanced, we will now balance copper.

It can be observed that the chemical equation is balanced now.

3Cu + 8HNO3 → 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O
