Nitric Acid cannot react with Gold alone. The only solution that can dissolve Gold is Aqua Regia; a combination of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid.

Which metal does not react with nitric acid?

Gold does not react with nitric acid because it is a noble metal that is resistant to acid attack.


How does carbon react to nitric acid?

Carbon does not react with nitric acid because carbon is a non-metal and is not oxidizable by nitric acid. Nitric acid can only oxidize metals and other substances that are easily oxidizable.


How does aluminum metal react with nitric acid?

When aluminum metal reacts with nitric acid, it produces aluminum nitrate, nitrogen dioxide gas, and water. This reaction is exothermic and can be violent if concentrated nitric acid is used.


Does the plutonium react in nitric acid?

Plutonium easily react with nitric acid.


What metal doesnt react with acid or water?

Gold is a metal that does not react with most acids or water.


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.


Name some acids that react with metals?

Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.


What does palladium react with?

Palladium ia a less reactive metal; Pd react with fluorine, chlorine, nitric acid, etc.


Which metal will not react readily with hydrochloric acid?

Gold is a metal that will not react readily with hydrochloric acid. This is because gold is a noble metal, meaning it is resistant to corrosion and does not easily undergo chemical reactions with acids like hydrochloric acid.


Why hydrogen is not evolved when a metal react with nitric acid?

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and its molecule is unstable as compare to nitrogen oxides, on reacting with metals it gives hydrogen and oxygen both so water is produced instead of hydrogen.


Why hydrogen is liberated when magnesium react with dilute nitric acid unlike other metals where hydrogen is not evolved?

Magnesium reacts with dilute nitric acid to form magnesium nitrate and liberate hydrogen gas because magnesium is a highly reactive metal and is able to displace hydrogen from nitric acid. Other less reactive metals do not typically react with dilute nitric acid to produce hydrogen gas.


Where does the gas come from when metal reacts with acid?

When a metal reacts with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. This gas comes from the acid as it breaks down the metal, releasing hydrogen ions that combine to form hydrogen gas.
