Question
Give reasons:
Conc. $\mathrm{HNO}^3$ can be transported in aluminium container.

Answer

Al reacts with cone. $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ to form a very thin film of aluminium oxide on its surface which protects it from further reaction.
$2 \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{~s})+6 \mathrm{HNO}_3 \text { (conc.) } \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3(\mathrm{~s})+6 \mathrm{NO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})$
