Give two chemical equations for each of the following:(a) Reactions of nitric acid with non-metals(b) Nitric acid showing as an acidic character(c) Nitric acid acting as an oxidizing agent |
|
Answer» (a) Reaction of nitric acid with non-metals: C + 4HNO3 → CO2 + 2H2O + 4 NO2 S + 6 HNO3 → H2SO4 + 2H2O + 6NO2 (b) Nitric acid showing acidic character: K2O + 2HNO3 → 2KNO3 + H2O ZnO + 2HNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + H2O (c) Nitric acid acting as oxidizing agent P4 +20HNO3 → 4H3PO4 + 4H2O + 20NO2 3Zn +8HNO3 → 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO |
