Question
Many metals can be oxidized by the Ht ions in strong acids, such as nitric acid (HNO,). In these reactions, the H* ions are
reduced to H, gas. Copper metal (Cu) can also be oxidized by HNO, but a different reaction occurs.
Cu(s) + 4 H†(aq) + 2 NO, (aq) –
Cu²+(aq) + 2 NO,(g) + 2 H,O(1)
Determine the oxidation state of each element in HNO, before the reaction.
