Generally metals react with acids to give salt and hydrogen gas. Which of the following acids does not give hydrogen gas on reacting with metals (except Mn and Mg)?

A

`H_(2)SO_(4)`

B

HCl

C

`HNO_(3)`

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Nitric acid (`HNO_(3)`) does not give hydrogen gas on reacting with metals (except Mn anti Mg) because nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent so, as soon as hydrbgen gas is formed in the reaction between metal and dil. `HNO_(3)," the "HNO_(3)` oxidises this hydrogen to water.
