Chemical eqution of nitric acid with paraffin?

Answer 1

No reaction

Answer 2

The chemical equation for the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and a paraffin hydrocarbon like a saturated alkane is complex due to multiple possible reactions. Generally, nitric acid can react with paraffins to form nitrated organic compounds and release nitrogen oxides, which can further react with excess nitric acid to form more nitrated products. The specific reaction and products would depend on the conditions of the reaction (concentration, temperature, etc.) and the structure of the paraffin.
