Aluminium reacts with dil. `HNO_3` but not with conc. `HNO_3`-explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to` Dilute `HNO_3` reacts with Aluminium slowly and forms aluminium nitrate and ammonium nitrate.
`8Al + 3O HNO_3 to 8Al (NO_3)_3 + 3HN_4 NO_3 + 9H_2 O`
`to` Aluminium does not react with conc. `HNO_3`
Reasons.
Aluminium is passive towards conc. `HNO_3` due to the formation of thin film of `Al_2 O_3` layer on the surface.
`to` Because of this passivity between Al and conc.`HNO_3` conc. `HNO_3` is transported in Aluminium containers.
