Give an example to show the effect of concentration of nitric acid on the formation of oxidation product.

Answer»

Solution : Dilute and concentrated nitric acid gives DIFFERENT oxidation PRODUCTS on reaction with copper METAL.
`3Cu + 8HNO_3(DIL.)to 3Cu(NO_3)_2 + 2NO+ 4H_2O`
`Cu+ 4HNO_3( conc. ) to Cu(NO_3)_2 + 2NO_2 + 2H_2O`
NO and `NO_2` are the oxidation products OBTAINED with dil. `HNO_3 ` and conc. `HNO_3` respectively.
