Chapter 18, Problem 66E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation regarding nitric acid being able to dissolve each of the given metal samples or not is to be predicted. The balanced chemical equation is to be shown if it dissolve and the minimum volume of $6.0\text{M}$

${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$ required to completely dissolve the sample is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:The metals that possesses less value of $E^{\text{ο}}$ cell than ${\text{HNO}}_3$ are dissolvable in $6\text{M}{\text{HNO}}_3$ .

To determine:If nitric acid can dissolve each of the given metal samples or not.The balanced chemical equation if it dissolves and the minimum volume of $6.0\text{M}$

${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$ required to completely dissolve the sample.
