Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of metals with nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ depends on the concentration of the acid and the reactivity of the metal.For $Zn$ (a more reactive metal),the reduction products are $N_2O$ (with dilute $HNO_3$),$NO_2$ (with concentrated $HNO_3$),and $NH_4NO_3$ (with very dilute $HNO_3$).For $Cu$ (a less reactive metal),the reaction with dilute $HNO_3$ produces $NO$ (Nitric oxide),not $N_2O$.Therefore,the reaction $Cu + 	ext{dil. } HNO_3 	o Cu(NO_3)_2 + N_2O$ is incorrect.

Which one of the following reactions is incorrect?
