Vedclass · Answer

(C) Generally,metals react with dilute acids to produce hydrogen gas. However,$HNO_3$ is a strong oxidizing agent and usually oxidizes $H_2$ to $H_2O$. Extremely dilute nitric acid $(2\%)$ is an exception,as it is not a strong enough oxidizing agent to oxidize $H_2$. Therefore,the reaction is: $Mn + 2HNO_3 (	ext{extremely dil.}) 	o Mn(NO_3)_2 + H_2 \uparrow$.
