उत्तर
Cold, dilute nitric acid reacts with copper to give nitric oxide.
Explanation:
Cold, dilute nitric acid acts as an oxidizing agent and reacts with copper to form copper nitrate, water, and nitric oxide gas (NO).
\[\ce{3Cu + 8HNO3(dil{.} -> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O)}\]
The nitric oxide formed is colourless, but on exposure to air it gets oxidised to reddish-brown nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
