Question

Copper does not dissolve in HCl (aq) but dissolves in
HNO3 (aq) producing Cu2+ ions Explain the difference in
behaviour
Given:-
Eo Cu2
+/Cu- = 0 34V
Eo Cl2/ 2Cl- = 1 36V
NO3- + 4H++ 3e- → NO +
2H2O
Eo NO3-/ NO = 0 97V

Copper does not dissolve in HCl (aq) but dissolves in HNO₃ (aq) producing Cu2+ ions. Explain the difference in behaviour.
Given:-
E^o _Cu² _⁺/Cu^- = 0.34V
E^o _{Cl2/ 2Cl^-} = 1.36V
NO₃- + 4H⁺+ 3e^- → NO + 2H₂O
E^o _{NO3^-/ NO} = 0.97V
