What is the balanced equation of zinc and nitric acid?

Answer 1

Sn (s) + 2HNO3(aq)-> H2O(l) + 2NO2(g)+SnO(s)

If the product formed is Tin (II) oxide, then the above should be the balanced equation. Tin (II) oxide can be blue black or red, depending upon the stability.

Answer 2

Lead oxide + nitric acid ---> lead nitrate + water 2HNO3 (aq) + PbO(s) ---> Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O(l)

Answer 3

2Sn +O2 ------> 2SnO also because tin can be in oxidation state 4 the following is aslso valid Sn + O2 ----> SnO2

Answer 4

Zn(solid) + 2HNO3(liq) --> Zn2+(aq) + 2 NO3-(aq) + H2(gas)

Answer 5

Nitrate is (NO3) with a charge of 1-
Tin is (Sn) with a charge of 4+

Therefore, together, they are Sn(NO3)4

Answer 6

Zn + 4HNO3 --> Zn(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Answer 7

Tin nitrates are:

- Sn(II)(NO3)2

- Sn(IV)(NO3)4

Answer 8

2HBr(l)+2Sn(s)->2SnBr(s)+H2(g)
