For examples:
Copper reacts with nitric acid in the following manner
$3 Cu+6 HNO_3 \rightarrow 3 Cu\left(NO_3\right)_2+6(H)$
$6(H)+3 HNO_3 \rightarrow 3 HNO_2+3 H_2 O$
$3 HNO_2 \rightarrow HNO_3+2 NO^2+H_2 O$
Overall reaction
$3 Cu+8 HNO_3 \rightarrow 3 CU\left(NO_3\right)_2+2 NO+4 H_2 O$
The concentrated acid has a tendency to form nitrogen dioxide
$Cu+4 HNO_3 \rightarrow 3 CU\left(NO_3\right)_2+2 NO_2+2 H_2 O$

A compound ' $A$ ' with molecular formula $C _4 H _{10} O$ is unreactive towards sodium metal. it does not add Bromine water and does not react with $NaHSO _3$ solution. On refluxing ' $A$ ' with excess of HI , it gives ' $B$ ' which reacts with aqueous NaOH to form 'C'. 'C' can be converted into 'B' by reacting with red $P$ and $I _3$. 'C, on treating with conc. $H _2 SO _4$ forms ' D '. ' D ' decolounses bromine water. Identify A to D and write the reactions involved.
