HNO3+Mg -----> ???

OpenStudy (somy):

any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mg2N3 + NO2 and

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Balanced please?

OpenStudy (somy):

break HNO3 to anion and cation parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

H+ NO3-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0_0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@somy!

OpenStudy (somy):

good so now this is single replacement reaction which means you replace H ion with Mg ion (coz they both are positive ions)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mmm Mg(NO3)2

OpenStudy (somy):

yup and left out is H2 so then balance it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And NO2 + H2O??

OpenStudy (somy):

no..

OpenStudy (somy):

Mg(NO3)2 + H2

OpenStudy (somy):

now write the whole reaction and balance it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No?? r u sure @somy 0_o

OpenStudy (somy):

yes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

සාන්ද්‍ර-If it concentrated HNO3 ??

OpenStudy (somy):

acid+ metal ---> salt+ Hydrogen

OpenStudy (kainui):

I hate to say it, but that's not exactly true. Here's an experiment where they put a copper penny in nitric acid and get NO2 and H2O http://ncsu.edu/project/chemistrydemos/Electrochem/Dissolving%20Penny%20in%20HNO3.pdf

OpenStudy (somy):

lol Kai my bad ( ˘ ³˘)❤

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep I heard that too @Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@somy ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @somy n @kainui :) so the medal goes??????? Where?

OpenStudy (somy):

to kai( ˘ ³˘)❤

OpenStudy (kainui):

Give it to Somy she's smarter, I'm just luckier. Plus she did most of the work. =P

OpenStudy (kainui):

nooooooooooooooooo

OpenStudy (somy):

kyah! kai my smartness is nothing compared to yours ( ˘ ³˘)❤

OpenStudy (kainui):

check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOa2v0Y0leU

OpenStudy (somy):

btw that happens with copper tho not with magnesium

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep wbt magnesium??

OpenStudy (somy):

or probably does hmmm idk

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well, the only difference will be that the color of the solution will be different. The blue comes from copper. However that brown gas will be there, since both reactions have the NO2 gas coming off it which is exactly the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhhhhh got it thanx @kai

OpenStudy (somy):

oH! if acid is concentrated then NO2 is produced if dilute then H2 is produced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

H2SO4 the same,, produce SO2
