Homework Statement
im given an experiment on reactivity series and required to write net ionic equation in the results.. I am kinda stuck in this reaction.. between this 3 metal.. iron, copper, and zinc.. reacting with nitric acid..
Homework Equations
the reaction was carried out with HCL also.. and these are the ionic equations i get.
Fe + 2 H+ = Fe + H₂
no reaction for copper.
Zn + 2 H+ = Zn + H₂
The Attempt at a Solution
well.. as far as i know.. copper won't react with nitric acid.. cos Cu is lower than H in the reactivity series.. but during experiment.. the Cu reacted and the solution turn blue.. this means copper is reacted.. so I am lost now..
can anyone give the solution for it?? the ionic equations..
