Question
$\text{Cu} + \text{HNO}_3\text{ (dil.)} \rightarrow \underline{\hspace{2em}} + \underline{\hspace{2em}} + \underline{\hspace{2em}}$
Answer
Answer
AIEquation: $3\mathrm{Cu} + 8\mathrm{HNO_{3}} \xrightarrow{\text{dilute}\text{ }\mathrm{HNO_{3}}} 3\mathrm{Cu(NO_{3})_{2}} + 2\mathrm{NO} + 4\mathrm{H_{2}O}$
Copper nitrate, nitric oxide and water are formed.
