Question 2011-1

(i) What is the special feature of the apparatus that is used in the laboratory preparation of nitric acid?

(ii) Why should the temperature of the reaction mixture of nitric acid not be allowed to rise above 200^oC?

Solution 2011-1

(i) The complete apparatus should be made of glass only.

(ii) At high temperature, nitric acid decomposes and the glass apparatus may get damaged. Sodium formed at a higher temperature forms a hard crust which sticks to the walls of the retort.

Question 2011-2

What would you observe in the following case :

Copper is heated with concentrated nitric acid in a hard glass test rube.

Solution 2011-2

Brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide are produced. Copper reacts with concentrated nitric acid to produce copper nitrate, water and nitrogen dioxide.

Question 2013-1

(i) Identify the gas evolved when sulphur is treated with concentrated NH₃.

(ii) Balanced equation of oxidation of carbon with concentrated HNO₃

Solution 2013-1

(i) When sulphur is treated with conc. nitric acid, it produces nitrogen dioxide.

(ii)

Question 2015-1

Explain the following :

(i) Dilute nitric acid is generally considered a typical acid but not so in its reaction with metals

(ii) Concentrated nitric acid appears yellow when it is left standing in a glass bottle.

(iii) An all glass apparatus is used in the laboratory preparation of nitric acid.

Solution 2015-1

(i) Dilute nitric acid is generally considered a typical acid except for its reaction with metals because it does not liberate hydrogen. It is a powerful oxidising agent, and nascent oxygen formed oxidises hydrogen in water.

(ii) Although pure concentrated nitric acid is colourless, it appears yellow when left standing in a glass bottle due to the dissolution of reddish brown nitrogen dioxide gas in the acid. Nitrogen dioxide is produced because of the thermal decomposition of a portion of nitric acid.

4HNO₃ → 2H₂O + 4NO₂ + O₂

(iii) An all-glass apparatus is used in the laboratory preparation of nitric acid because nitric acid vapour corrodes rubber and cork.

Question 2016-1

Fill in the blanks using the appropriate words given below :

(Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen dioxide, Nitric oxide, Sulphuric acid)

(i) Cold, dilute nitric acid reacts with copper to give ______.

(ii) Hot, concentrated nitric add reacts with sulphur to form ______.

Solution 2016-1

(i) Cold, dilute nitric acid reacts with copper to give nitric oxide.

(ii) Hot, concentrated nitric acid reacts with sulphur to form nitrogen dioxide.

Question 2017-1

Write a balanced equation for following :

(i) Action of cold and dilute nitric acid on copper

(ii) Action of conc. Nitric acid on sulphur

(iii) Reaction of ammonia with nitric acid

(iv) Laboratory preparation nitric acid.

Solution 2017-1

(i) 3Cu + 8HNO₃→ 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4H₂O+ 2NO↑
