Question

Acetic acid and nitric acid are both classified as acids- but they are still incompatible to one another. why? The two undergo a decomposition reaction and produce elemental carbon The two undergo a combustion reaction and produce carbon dioxide The two undergo a redox reaction and produce toxic nitrogen dioxide The two undergo a combination reaction and produce an even-more concentrated acid What is the most commonly used oxidizing agent in laboratory chemistry settings? Nitric acid Hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation / Answer

two chemicals are incompatible to each other when they combine leading to explosion and highly exothermic reaction.

The reaction is 5CH3COOH+10HNO3------->10CO2+14H2O+4N2, CO2 is produced. Hence B is correct
