The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation where a copper coin is covered with a gold film and then placed in dilute HNO₃ (nitric acid). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Metals Involved**: - The coin is made of copper (Cu). - The coin is covered with a gold (Au) film. 2. **Understand the Reactivity of Gold**: - Gold is a noble metal, which means it is resistant to corrosion and does not react with most acids, including dilute nitric acid. 3. **Consider the Reaction of Copper with Dilute HNO₃**: - Copper can react with dilute nitric acid. The reaction of copper with dilute HNO₃ produces copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO₃)₂) and nitrogen oxides (NO or NO₂) as by-products. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu} + 2 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Cu(NO}_3)_2 + \text{NO} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] 4. **Determine the Effect of the Gold Coating**: - Since the copper coin is completely covered with a gold film, the gold will prevent any direct contact of the copper with the nitric acid. - Therefore, the copper beneath the gold film will not react with the dilute HNO₃, and no copper nitrate will be formed. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the gold does not react with the acid, and the copper is protected by the gold film, there will be no formation of gold nitrate or copper nitrate. - The final answer is that there will be no reaction, and thus no products will be formed. ### Final Answer: The result of placing a copper coin covered with a gold film in dilute HNO₃ is that **no reaction occurs**, and therefore, **none of the products listed (gold nitrate, copper nitrate, etc.) will be formed**. ---
