Solution

(a) When Sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to nitric acid sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water is formed.

$N a H C O_{3} + H N O_{3} ⟶ N a N O_{3} + H_{2} O + C O_{2}$

(b) When Cupric oxide reacts with dilute nitric acid, it forms Copper nitrate.

$C u O + 2 H N O_{3} ⟶ C u (N O_{3})_{2} + H_{2} O$

(c) Zinc reacts with nitric acid to form Zinc nitrate, nitric oxide and water.

$3 Z n + 8 H N O_{3} ⟶ 3 Z n (N O_{3})_{2} + 4 H_{2} O + 2 N O$

(d) $4 H N O_{3} ⟶ 2 H_{2} O + 4 N O_{2} + O_{2}$
