because it does not last
HNO3 which forms white precipitate..
The preparation of hydrogen gas is usually from a reduction of a compound containing hydrogen that is in the +1 oxidation state. This reduction is accomplished either electrically or chemically.
No. Hydrogen gas is generally a reducing agent.
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.
Usually an active metal displaces hydrogen acids. But Nitric Acid is a very strong oxidizing agent i.e. it leads to addition of oxygen to another substancevery quickly . Thus, when hydrogen is formed due to the addition of a metal to nitric acid, it oxidises hydrogen into water. That is why concentrated nitric acid is not used in the preparation of hydrogen gas.

Hydrogen gas is an extremely high explosive gas often used to make bombs...
A strong acid like nitric (HNO3), hydrochloric (HCL), sulfuric (H2SO4) to name a few.
Magnesium (Mg) + Nitric Acid (HNO3) ---> Magnesium Nitrate (MgNO3) + Hydrogen gas (H) + Heat
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.
Hydrogen is too flammable
Some practical uses are that hydrogen is for fuel. That is a practical use for hydrogen. Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. It is the only element that doesn't have neutrons in it. Hydrogen is also the lightest of all elements.
Hydrogen gas was used to inflate the Hindenburg.
