Products of Iron (Fe) reacting with Nitric Acid(HNO3) depends on temperature of reactants as well as concentration of HNO3.
With dilute HNO3 Iron gives Ferrous Nitrate [Fe(NO3)2], water and Nitric oxide(NO).
3Fe + 8HNO3 --> 3Fe(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO
With concentrated HNO3 iron gives Ferric nitrate [Fe(NO3)3], water and Nitrogen dioxide(NO2).
Fe + 6HNO3 --> Fe(NO3)3 +3H2O + 3NO2
Reaction of iron with concentrated Nitric acid Renders it passive to further reaction due to formation of thin oxide layer on the surface. In all these Reactions Nitric acid acts as an oxidising agent.

What is iron hydroxide plus nitric acid?
Iron Oxide is Fe[2]O[3] and Nitric acid is HNO[3]
What does gold plus nitric acid yield to?
Just gold and nitric acid. Gold's impervious to nitric acid.
What is the equation for the decomposition of H2SO3?
SO2 plus H2O equals H2SO3 which is Sulfurous Acid. CO2 plus H2O equals H2CO3which is Carbonic Acid. It also forms HNO3 which is nitric acid.
Nitric acid plus zinc oxide?
Nitric acid plus zinc oxideNitricoxide
Will iron react with Hydrobromic acid to create hydrogen gas?
Fe + 2HBr = H2 + FeBr2 Iron plus hydrobromic acid equals hydrogen gas plus iron (II) bromide
What is iron hydroxide plus nitric acid?
Iron Oxide is Fe[2]O[3] and Nitric acid is HNO[3]
What is the balanced chemical equation of potassium carbonate plus nitric acid?
iron :)
What does iron plus nitric acid form?
It depends on concentrations. Normally it emits H2.
What you get from nitric acid plus iron?
Iron + Nitric acid ----> Iron(III) nitrate + Water + Nitrogen Dioxide Fe + HNO3 ----> Fe(NO3)3 + H2O + NO2 NOTE: Nitrogen dioxide will come out only if the acid is concentrated. If it is dilute, Nitrogen monoxide will be produced.
What does gold plus nitric acid yield to?
Just gold and nitric acid. Gold's impervious to nitric acid.
What is the equation for the decomposition of H2SO3?
SO2 plus H2O equals H2SO3 which is Sulfurous Acid. CO2 plus H2O equals H2CO3which is Carbonic Acid. It also forms HNO3 which is nitric acid.
Nitric acid plus zinc oxide?
Nitric acid plus zinc oxideNitricoxide
Will iron react with Hydrobromic acid to create hydrogen gas?
Fe + 2HBr = H2 + FeBr2 Iron plus hydrobromic acid equals hydrogen gas plus iron (II) bromide
What is the coefficient of nitric acid plus sodium hydroxidesodium nitrate plus water?
Coefficients of nitric acid Sodium hydroxide sodium nitrate+water
Magnesium carbonate plus nitric acid equals?
The most likely reaction is the formation of magnesium nitrate, carbon dioxide, and water.
What is sodium plus nitric acid?
It creates aqueous sodium nitrate, which is a strong oxidizing salt of nitric acid.
How do you write the balanced equation for calcium chloride plus nitric acid equals calcium nitrate plus hydrochloric acid?
CaCl2 + 2HNO3 ==> Ca(NO3)2 + 2HCl double displacement reaction.
