Generally, metals react with acids to give salt and hydrogen gas. Which of the following acids does not give hydrogen gas on reacting with metals (except Mn and Mg)?
- H2SO4
- HCl
- HNO3
- All of these
Correct answer: (c) HNO3
Explanation: Nitric acid is a powerful oxidizing agent. It reacts with the metal to form water.
