When dilute nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with non metals (excluding H2, C, N2 and O2) it forms acid from that non metal. For example, if HNO3 reacts with sulfur (S) it gives nitric oxide, water and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). It only reacts with carbon to form carbon dioxide (CO2) instead of its acid. Some more examples:

HNO3 + P --> H3PO4 + NO + H2O

HNO3 + S --> H2SO4 + NO + H2O

HNO3 + Se --> H2SeO3 + NO + H2O

HNO3 + C --> CO2 + NO + H2O

HNO3 + S --> H2SO4 + NO + H2O

Do Acids react with nonmetals?

Non metals do not react with acids usually a metal reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas while this is not observed with non metals, this is because metals are electro-positive . therefore metals can give electrons to hydrogen which is liberated as hydrogen gas while is not observed with non metals. Fe + H2+SO42- ----------> FeSO4 + H2 2H+ + 2e- ---------> H2

What class of elements are found in acids besides hydrogen and oxygen?

Acids often contain nonmetals in addition to hydrogen and oxygen. Elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine are commonly found in acids. These nonmetals contribute to the acidic properties of the compounds they are part of.


What is the chemical reaction for dehydration of fatty acids?

The chemical reaction for dehydration of fatty acids involves the removal of water molecules to form a double bond between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain. This reaction is catalyzed by enzymes such as fatty acid desaturases. Dehydration of fatty acids is an important step in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in organisms.
