Question

Sodium sulphite $N{a}_{2}S{O}_3$ ,reacts with nitric acid $HN{O}_3$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Sodium sulfite $N{a}_{2}S{O}_3$, when reacts with nitric acid $HN{O}_3$ gives sodium nitrate $NaN{O}_3$, sulfur dioxide $S{O}_2$ and water $H_{2}O$.

$N{a}_{2}S{O}_3+2HN{O}_3->2NaN{O}_3+S{O}_2+H_{2}O$
