(a) When Sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to nitric acid sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water is formed.
NaHCO3 + HNO3 → NaNO3 + H2O + CO2
(b) When Cupric oxide reacts with dilute nitric acid, it forms Copper nitrate.
CuO + 2HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + H2O
(c) Zinc reacts with nitric acid to form Zinc nitrate, nitric oxide and water.
3 Zn + 8HNO3 → 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO
(d) 4HNO3 → 2H2O + 4NO2 + O2
