The following two reactions of HNO3 with Zn are given : (a) Zn + conc. HNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + X + H2O

Ag+ and Cu2+ act as oxidising agents in reactions (a) and (b) respectively.  In reaction (c), Ag+ oxidises C6H5CHO to C6H5COO– , but in reaction (d), Cu2+ cannot oxidise C6H5CHO. Hence, we...

Anions                       Cations  (a) CH3 COO-           Na+  (b) Cl–                     ...

[Hint :  (a) (b) NaNO3 + H2SO4 =>NaHSO4 + HNO3]

A is NO and Ostwald process for the manufacture of HNO3. 2NO + O2 → 2NO2 (A) 3NO2 + H2O → 2HNO3 + NO (B)                       ...

Dichloridobis(ethylenediammine)nitratoplatinum(IV)

[Ti(H2O)6]3+ : In this core Ti+3 has one unpaired e- while Sc+3 does not has any unpaired electron.

In acidic medium alcohols protonated then loses H2O to form a carbo cation. If HCl Cl- strong nucleophile cause nucleophilic substitution, HNO3 causes oxidation.

i. It is a combination reaction as well as an exothermic reaction. ii. It is a double displacement reaction as well as a precipitation reaction.

(i) This is because the N—O bond in NO2– is an average of a single bond and a double bond whereas the N—O bond in NO3– is an average of...
