(a)[4]
Describe the visible changes you would observe if excess dilute nitric acid is added separately to solid samples of copper(II) carbonate and copper(II) oxide and the mixtures are then warmed.
(b(i))[2]
The chemical equation for the reaction between copper and dilute nitric acid is partly shown. Complete the chemical equation by inserting the formula of copper(II) nitrate and balancing the equation.\n\n$\text{Cu(s)} + 8\text{HNO}_3\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \dots\dots\dots\text{(aq)} + 4\text{H}_2\text{O(l)} + 2\text{NO(g)}$
(b(ii))[1]
How does the reaction of dilute nitric acid with copper differ from the reaction of a typical metal with a typical acid?
