Aluminium is passive towards Nitric acid because Nitric acid forms a protective thin film on surface of Aluminium which protects from further reaction.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Nitric acid is very corrosive and a very strong acid. You can mix in water but remember add acid to the water and not water to the acid. When mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid it forms an excellent nitrating mixture for organic compounds. When doing a chloride titration with Silver Nitrate, Nitric acid is used to acidify and help the titration. There are many other uses also which involve mixing chemicals with nitric acid.
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
Calcium nitrate and sulfuric acid will react to form calcium sulfate, nitric acid, and water. This is a double displacement reaction where the calcium and sulfate ions switch partners to create a new set of compounds.
Carbon don't react with acids, except concentrated Nitric acid. Concentrated nitric acid reacts with carbon to produce Water, Carbon dioxide, and Nitrogen dioxide.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
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.
Plutonium easily react with nitric acid.
Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that can oxidize hydrogen gas to water instead of being reduced itself to release hydrogen gas. As a result, metals do not liberate hydrogen gas when they react with nitric acid.
The question needs an opposite answer:Most metals, except some noble ones like Pt, Au and maybe Hg or Ag, can NOT resist the oxidation power of nitric acid. This is because of the high oxidation power (potential) of nitric acid (even dilute acid is very potent).
Metals such as gold, platinum, and silver do not react with hydrochloric acid due to their inert nature. They form a protective oxide layer on their surface that prevents them from reacting with acids.
Gold does not react with nitric acid because it is a noble metal that is resistant to acid attack.
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.
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.
No
Yes, nitric acid can dissolve other metals from gold through a process called aqua regia. This mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid is particularly effective in dissolving a variety of metals, leaving behind the gold.
No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.
