Detailed Solution

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2↑Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2↑EH+/12H2,pt°= 0 (Arbitrarily taken as zero)Where as ENO3-/NO2°;ENO3-/N2O°  are positive. Therefore, NO3- reduces to oxide nitrogen but not H+ to H2.  Thus NO3- ion reduces in preference to H+ ion.4Zn + 10 HNO3 (dil ) →4 Zn(NO3)2 + 5H2O +N2OZn + 4 HNO3 (conc) →Zn(NO3)2 + 2H2O +2NO2
