The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reactions of zinc (Zn) with concentrated and dilute nitric acid (HNO₃) and identify the products X and Y in each case. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction with Concentrated HNO₃:** - When zinc reacts with concentrated nitric acid, it typically produces zinc nitrate and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) as a byproduct. - The unbalanced reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Zn} + \text{conc. HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + X + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - Here, we need to determine what X is. 2. **Determine the Products:** - The reaction of zinc with concentrated HNO₃ can be balanced as follows: \[ \text{Zn} + 4 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 2 \text{NO}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - From this balanced equation, we can see that X is nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). 3. **Identify the Reaction with Dilute HNO₃:** - When zinc reacts with dilute nitric acid, it produces zinc nitrate and ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃). - The unbalanced reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Zn} + \text{dil. HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + Y + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - We need to determine what Y is. 4. **Determine the Products:** - The reaction of zinc with dilute HNO₃ can be balanced as follows: \[ \text{Zn} + 4 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Zn(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - From this balanced equation, we can see that Y is ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃). 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the products X and Y are: - X = NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide) - Y = NH₄NO₃ (ammonium nitrate) ### Final Answer: - X = NO₂ - Y = NH₄NO₃
