Why hydrogen is not evolved when a metal react with nitric acid?

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and its molecule is unstable as compare to nitrogen oxides, on reacting with metals it gives hydrogen and oxygen both so water is produced instead of hydrogen.

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
Which metal does not react with nitric acid?
GOLD
What is the product of sodium hydrogen carbonate and nitric acid?
Sodium hydrogen carbonate and nitric acid react to form sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide, and water.
When nitric acid and calcium react we obtain?
From the reaction between calcium and nitric acid result calcium nitrate and hydrogen.
Which metal doesn't react with nitric acid?
Nitric Acid cannot react with Gold alone. The only solution that can dissolve Gold is Aqua Regia; a combination of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid.

Where does the gas come from when metal reacts with acid?
No. Copper will not react with most acids. It will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide. Gold and platinum will not react with nitric acid but will react with aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids to produce nitrogen dioxide and some nitric oxide. Rhenium does not react with acid at all.

What is formed when nitric acid reacts with iron?
when nitric acid and iron react together Iron Nitrate is formed and hydrogen gas
How get back copper from nitric acid?
Displacement reaction React Copper Nitrate with a more reactive metal such as Sodium or Calcium and you will get Sodium or Calcium Nitrate + Copper and Hydrogen x
What happens when calcium react with nitric acid?
The Calcium displaces hydrogen from the nitric acid, producing calcium nitrate and hydrogen gas. Ca + 2HNO3 --> Ca(NO3)2 + H2
Do acids react with metals that are more or less active than hydrogen to form a compound of the metal and hydrogen gas?
No. Some of the less reactive metals, such as platinum, gold, silver, copper, and rhenium will not undergo this reaction. Copper and silver will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxic brown gas. Gold and platinum will react with aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, in a similar manner. Rhenium will not react with any acid.
How do you neutralized nitrogen dioxide gas?
what you can do is to have it react with hydrogen peroxide at low temperature. When these react you get nitric acid: 2NO2 + H2O2 -> 2HNO3
What does potassium and nitric acid make?
Potassium will react with nitric acid to produce potassium nitrate and hydrogen gas. 2K + 2HNO3 --> 2KNO3 + H2
