प्रश्न
Generally, when metals are treated with mineral acids, hydrogen gas is liberated but when metals (except Mn and Mg), treated with HNO3, hydrogen is not liberated, why?

उत्तर
Concentrated nitric acid is a very strong oxidising agent. When metals are treated with concentrated nitric acid the hydrogen gas that is produced during the reaction is further oxidised to water and thus hydrogen gas is not liberated.

Four metals P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal R is used in making car batteries. Metals Q and R form an alloy called solder. What are metals P, Q, R and S?
