In a reaction, HNO₃ is behaving as reducing agent. What should be its expected product?
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
In HNO₃ nitrogen is already at its maximum oxidation state (+5), so it cannot be oxidised further. For HNO₃ to act as a reducing agent, oxygen (-2) must be oxidised to O₂ (0). Hence (d).
