Copper and concentrated nitric acid.

Open in App

Solution

Copper and concentrated Nitric acid( $H N O_{3}$ ) react to form Copper Nitrate, Nitrogen dioxide, and water.
So the equation for the reaction is,
$\underset{C o p p e r}{C u (s)} + 4 \underset{N i t r i c a c i d}{H N O_{3} (l)} \to \underset{C o p p e r n i t r a t e}{C u {(N O_{3})}_{2}} + \underset{N i t r o g e n d i o x i d e}{2 N O_{2} (g)} + 2 H_{2} O (l)$
