Aluminium is passive towards Nitric acid because Nitric acid forms a protective thin film on surface of Aluminium which protects from further reaction.

usually iron and copper react the fastest depending on the concentration of the acid. when they react the acid turns green and realeases a reddish brownish fume that is toxic.

Metal does not react to hydroxide for one reason. The reason why it does not have reaction is because it is not a strong chemical.

What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?

Gold and platinum. 'Aqua regia' is a mixture of trhe acids, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. This mixture will react with these metals.


Name some acids that react with metals?

Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.


Does the plutonium react in nitric acid?

Plutonium easily react with nitric acid.


Do all metals react with acid then disappear?

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.


Which metal doesn't react with nitric acid?

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.


Why metals except Mg and Mn do not form hydrogen 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).


Does gold react with nitric acid?

No, it does not


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

This may due to Magnesium metal has high reactivity and concentration of nitric acid is dilute, thus magnesium reacts with H+ in water/ in nitric acid to give hydrogen


Do acids react with metals that are more or less active than hydrogen to form a compound of the metal and hydrogen gas?

No. Some of the less reactive metals, such as platinum, gold, silver, copper, and rhenium will not undergo this reaction. Copper and silver will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxic brown gas. Gold and platinum will react with aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, in a similar manner. Rhenium will not react with any acid.


Are nitric acid and ammonia compatible?

Nitric is an acid. Ammonia is a base. SO they react when mixed


What gas do acids form when they react with metals?

Usually hydrogen (H2). Nitric acid usually gives NO or NO2, depending on concentration.


What metal reacts with acids?

Lots of metals react with acids. It depends on exactly what acid, and the concentration of that acid. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid (aqua regia, royal water) will react with gold and other precious metals. The alkali metals will react readily with acid, as will most metals. You have to know that any metal with incomplete orbital has the ability to react with any proton donating species. (proton donating species are acids according to Bronston-Lowry theory)
