Frequently asked questions
Why does copper react with nitric acid but not with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Nitric acid is an oxidising acid; it oxidises copper and is itself reduced to oxides of nitrogen instead of giving hydrogen.
What colour is the gas when copper reacts with concentrated nitric acid?
Brown, from nitrogen dioxide.
