Why hydrogen is liberated when magnesium react with dilute nitric acid unlike other metals where hydrogen is not evolved?

This may due to Magnesium metal has high reactivity and concentration of nitric acid is dilute, thus magnesium reacts with H+ in water/ in nitric acid to give hydrogen


Is sodium the same as sodium nitrate?

No. If Sodium is considered, then it is a highly reactive metal. But if Sodium Nitrate is considered, then it is a salt which has been formed by reacting Sodium with dilute 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.


What will hppen if you put a piece of magnesium into dilute nitric acid?

Im not sure about very dilute acid and strong magnesium but; magnesium and dilute nitric acid formed alot of gas, the color changed to a browney orange and the temperature increased significantly. I was told (by my science teacher) that when writing the chemical equation you didnt have to include water so; magnesium + nitric acid-------> magnesium nitrate + hydrogen Hope this helps. :)
