JEE Main Chemistry question
The following two reactions of with Zn are given as (equations are not balanced):
Zn+conc.\ → +[X]+ (A)
Zn+dil.\ → +[Y]+ (B)
In reactions and , the compounds and respectively, are
Answer: (D)
Solution
With concentrated , Zn reduces nitrate to : Zn+4HNO_3(conc.)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2NO_2+2H_2O, so . Zinc being a strongly reducing (highly active) metal, with dilute
