Question
Chapter 24, Problem 49QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The statement “Nitric acid can be reduced but not oxidized”is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Nitric acid is called the spirit of nitrogenthat is a colorless liquid and highly corrosive mineral acid.
Oxidation state is also called the oxidation number. It is used to describe the oxidation, that is, loss of electrons in any compound.
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen.
The reduction is the loss of oxygen or the gain of hydrogen.
