Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that can readily oxidize hydrogen gas to water, meaning it cannot act as a reducing agent to liberate hydrogen gas from most metals. Instead, it will oxidize the metal and produce nitrogen oxides or nitrate salts.
Zinc and magnesium can displace hydrogen from dilute nitric acid.
its the same formula, whether it is dilute or concentrated depends on the molar volume per litre pf the substance :)
It is because nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent (because it decomposes to yield nascent oxygen as:2HNO3 →2NO2 + H2O + [O])and it oxidises the hydrogen formed to water.Only 1% dilute and cold nitric acid reacts with magnesium and manganese to liberate Hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen nitrate or nitric acid.

The chemical formula for Hydrogen Nitrate is: HNO3

Nitric acid is an electrolyte.
Hydrogen nitrate or nitric acid.
HNO3 H being the Hydrogen atom, and NO3 being the Nitrate ion.
HNO3 is not used in the preparation of hydrogen gas because it is a strong oxidizing agent. When HNO3 reacts with a metal to produce hydrogen gas, it tends to oxidize the hydrogen gas produced back to water, making the reaction inefficient for hydrogen gas production.
The chemical equation (with dilute acid) is:Zn + HNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 +NO +H2O.
It is actually a mixture of very dilute H2SO4 and HNO3
No. HNO3 already has hydrogen and nitrogen in their highest possible oxidation states.
