Sulphuric acid contains sulphur, hydrochloric acid contains chlorine, nitric acid contains nitrogen, and ethanoic acid contains carbon.


How does carbon react to nitric acid?

Carbon does not react with nitric acid because carbon is a non-metal and is not oxidizable by nitric acid. Nitric acid can only oxidize metals and other substances that are easily oxidizable.


Is carbon in nitric acid?

No. Its' formula is HNO3. It has nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in it.


Elements in nitric acid?

Nitric acid contains hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. It has the formula HNO3.


What is the reaction of carbon with hot nitric acid?

Carbon does not react with hot nitric acid due to its inert nature. The oxidation state of carbon in hydrocarbons is generally lower than its highest oxidation state (+4), which is needed for reaction with nitric acid. Thus, carbon remains unreactive towards hot nitric acid.


What is nitric acid organic or non organic?

Nitric Acid has the formula HNO3. There is no carbon in the formula, so it is **IN**ORGANIC. NB Not ; 'non organic'.

What forms when carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide or nitric oxide combine with water in the air?

Separately Carbon dioxide dissolves in rail water to form a very mild solution of carbonic acid. This is a NATURAL process and NOT 'acid rain'. CO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2CO3(aq) However, Sulphur dioxide also dissolved in rainwater to form sulphurous acid. This is NOT a natural process, because the product has a lower pH making it more acidic. Hence 'acid rain'. SO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO3(aq) Similarly Nitric Oxide also dissolves in rainwater to form various acids of nitrogen. Again this has a lower pH than natural rainwater, making for acid rain. NO(g) + H2O(l) = H2NO2(aq) ( Nitrous acid). NB Water (rainwater) is a very powerful solvent and will dissolve most solutes. NNB The oxides of the NON-metals dissolve in water to form acids. Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur are elemental non-metals.


What is the difference between nitrous acid and nitric acid?

Nitrous acid (HNO2) contains a nitrogen atom with an oxidation state of +3, while nitric acid (HNO3) contains a nitrogen atom with an oxidation state of +5. Nitrous acid is a weaker acid and is unstable, while nitric acid is a stronger acid and is stable.
