Question

Zinc does not evolve hydrogen gas on reacting with dilute nitric acid

Answer 1

no buddy, statment is incorrect,,, it evolves hydrogen

Answer 2

Answer:

Please mark my answer as the brainliest...

Explanation:

Zinc is a reactive metal which can displace hydrogen from dilute acids. But if dilute nitric acid is used, no hydrogen gas is liberated. Hydrogen displaces from acids like sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. It can't be displaced from nitric acid. So even though, zinc is a reactive metal, due to the acid, hydrogen is not liberated
