In permanganate titration's why is nitric acid not used?
Nitric acid, being a strong oxidising agent, interferes with oxidising capacity of KMnO4 hence reducing accuracy of titration.
Why nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen?
Nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen because it is a strong oxidizing agent. When nitric acid comes into contact with reducing agents like hydrogen, it undergoes a redox reaction where it gets reduced to nitrogen gas instead of producing hydrogen gas.
When metal reacts with nitric acid hydrogen is not produced why?
It is so because nitric acid is a very strong oxidising agent and as according to oxidation, it says loss of hydrogen is very important.... Thus, hydrogen is not produced. :)
Does copper dissolve in acid?
Copper dissolves in any oxidising acid like nitric acid.
Why is nitric acid in the dilute form not used in the laboratory preparation of hydrogen from metals?
It is because nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent (because it decomposes to yield nascent oxygen as:2HNO3 →2NO2 + H2O + [O])and it oxidises the hydrogen formed to water.Only 1% dilute and cold nitric acid reacts with magnesium and manganese to liberate Hydrogen gas.

Why most metal do not displace hydrogen from nitric acid?
Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent
Which acids dissolve copper?
16Mtric acid will dissolve copper, without heating.
Why nitric acid does not liberate hydrogen gas with most metals?
It is because HNO3 is a strong oxidising agent.So as soon as H2 is formed in the reaction between a metal and dilute nitric acid oxidises this hydrogen to water.
Nitric acid is used as oxidizing agent but nitrous acid used as both oxidizing agent and reducing agent why?
The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
What is a Nitrating Agent?
Mixture of Conc. nitric acid and Conc. Sulphuric acid
What will oxidizes the fastest copper nickel or silver?
NONE of them are oxidising agents, they are reducing in stead: Silver is the best reductor, lead the weakest of this trio.All metals are reducing (donating electrons), they are able to BE oxidised by an OXIDising agent (acceptor of electrons), like O2.
