Nitric oxide is prepared by action of HNO3 on:
Correct answer: D. Sn
- A. Fe
- B. Cu
- C. Zn
- D. Sn
Explanation
d) Sn (tin):The action of nitric acid (HNO3) on tin (Sn) does indeed produce nitric oxide (NO). The reaction between tin and nitric acid results in the formation of tin(II) nitrate and the evolution of nitric oxide gas.

About Redox Reactions
Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
