Explain why copper metal reacts with nitric acid but does not react with hydrochloric acid​

Respuesta :

Copper is an unreactive metal and doesn't react in normal circumstances with dilute acids. However, it does react with nitric acid. ... Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent and the reaction is not the usual acid + metal reaction. The products are oxides of nitrogen instead of hydrogen

Hope it helps!! :)
