When zinc is reacted with dilute and concentrated nitric acid, respectively, gives rise to:
Options
- AN O a n d N 2 O
- BN O 2 a n d N 2 O
- CN 2 O a n d N O 2
- DN O 2 a n d N O
Correct answer
C. N 2 O a n d N O 2
Step-by-step solution
Zn on reaction with H N O 3 Zinc reacts with the dilute nitric acid to form the nitrous oxide gas. It is also known as the laughing gas. 4 Z n + 10 H N O 3 dil → 4 Z n N O 3 2 + N 2 O + 5 H 2 O Zinc reacts with the concentrated nitric acid to form the brown colour nitrogen dioxide gas. Z n + 4 H N O 3 conc . → Z n N O 3 2 + 2 N O 2 + 2 H 2 O
