Write the reactions of nitric and sulfuric acid with carbon and phosphorus.
The reaction of nitric acid with carbon, as a result of the reaction, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide is formed and water is released. The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
4 HNO₃ + 3 C = 3 CO₂ + 4 NO + 2 H₂O
The reaction of nitric acid with phosphorus, as a result of the reaction, phosphoric acid, nitric oxide are formed and water is released. The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
5 HNO₃ + P = H₃PO₄ + 5 NO₂ + H₂O
The reaction of sulfuric acid with carbon, as a result of the reaction, carbon dioxide is formed, sulfur oxide is tetravalent and water is released. The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
2 H₂SO₄ + C = 2 SO₂ + CO₂ + 2 H₂O
The reaction of sulfuric acid with phosphorus, as a result of the reaction, phosphoric acid is formed, sulfur oxide is tetravalent and water is released. The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
5 H₂SO₄ + 2 P = 5 SO₂ + 2 H₃PO₄ + 2 H₂O.
