Why nitric acid is not used in lab preparation hydrogen?

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that can react violently with reducing agents such as hydrogen, leading to potential explosions. This makes it unsafe to use nitric acid in the lab for the preparation of hydrogen gas. Preferred methods for generating hydrogen gas typically involve non-oxidizing acids like hydrochloric acid reacting with a metal like zinc.


Can nitric acid be handled by bare hands?
