توضيح
Dilute trioxonitrate (V) acid does not produce hydrogen when it reacts with metals because it is a strong oxidizing agent.
Trioxonitrate (V) acid, also known as nitric acid, is a strong oxidizing agent. This means that it can easily oxidize metals, which means that it can remove electrons from metals. When nitric acid oxidizes a metal, it forms salt and water. The salt does not contain hydrogen, so no hydrogen gas is produced
