The gases liberated when zinc reacts with dilute and conc. HNO ₃ respectively are
Options
- ANO , NO ₂
- BNO , N ₂ O
- CN ₂ O , NO
- DN ₂ O , NO ₂
Correct answer
D. N ₂ O , NO ₂
Step-by-step solution
When zinc reacts with dilute HNO ₃ , it will produce nitrous oxide gas. At room temperature, it is a colourless, non-flammable gas, with a pleasant, slightly sweet odor. aligned & 4 Zn + Warm dilute 10 HNO ₃ Zinc nitrate 4 Zn ( NO ₃ )₂ &+ NH ₄ NO ₃+3 H ₂ O aligned 4 Zn + Cold dilute 10 HNO ₃ Zinc nitrate 4 Zn ( NO ₃ )₂ + Nitrous oxide N ₂ O +5 H ₂ O Similarly, when zinc repcts with concentrated HNO ₃ , it will produce nitrogen dioxide gas ( NO ₂ ) . It is used as the indicator for the larger group of nitrogen oxide
