Give reasons
Conc. `HNO_3` can be transported in aluminium container.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Conc. `HNO_3` reacts with aluminium initially to produce a protective coating of `Al_2O_3` inside the container and the metal becomes passive towards the acid. SO `HNO_3` can be safely transported in aluminium container.
