Nitric acid is a strong reducing agent , aluminum forms a thick layer of oxide on it while reacting with air and further nitric acid cannot oxidise Al oxide ans so nitric acid can be stored safely in it.

What happens when aluminium reacts with dilute nitric acid?
Aluminium reacts with dilute nitric acid to give aluminium nitrate and hydrogen gas. aluminium + nitric acid -> aluminium nitrate + hydrogen 2Al(s) + 6HNO3 (aq) -> 2Al(NO3)3 (aq) + 3H2(g)
Salt formed if you mix aluminium oxide and nitric acid?
This salt is aluminium nitrate.
Why does the action of concentrated nitric acid render aluminum passive?
nitric acid is light sensitve , it decomposes when expose in light. when aluminium is added to the conc HNO3 it remain passive in conc nitric acid,...... and moreover aluminium oxide layer is also form due to which it remain passive in conc nitric acid...
How would one remove an silver or aluminium coating from a telescope mirror made of pyrex glass?
nitric acid
The name of HNO3 is?

Can one store dilute nitric acid in a container made up of zinc?
nah

Why aluminium is passive toward concentrated nitric acid?
Because when aluminium comes into contact with nitric acid, an impervious layer ofaluminium oxide is formed. This layer of aluminium oxide will prevent the nitric acid from coming into contact with the inner aluminium metal. Thus this layer protect and prevent further reaction.
What help to determine whether it silver or aluminum?
Pouring concentrated Nitric acid(HNO3). It will dissolve Silver but not Aluminium because, Aluminium will form a passivation layer which is resistant to Nitric acid
What happens when aluminium sulphate reacts with nitric acid?
Answer plc urgent
Why Nitric acid can be stored in aluminium vessels?
i do not know. better refer wikipedia. sorry for the inconvenience.
Which metals react with nitric acid?
Aluminium is passive towards Nitric acid because Nitric acid forms a protective thin film on surface of Aluminium which protects from further reaction.
Does aluminium react with acid?
Aluminium is amphoteric which means that it displays some of the properties of both acids and bases, it will react with some bases, such as Sodium Hydroxide and also with some Acids such as concentrated Nitric Acid
How would one remove an silver or aluminium coating from a telescope mirror made of pyrex glass?
nitric acid
