Vedclass · Answer

(D) Nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ is a strong oxidizing agent. Among the given non-metals,$P$,$S$,and $I_2$ are oxidized by concentrated $HNO_3$ to their respective oxoacids ($H_3PO_4$,$H_2SO_4$,and $HIO_3$). Chlorine $(Cl_2)$ does not react with nitric acid because $HNO_3$ acts as an oxidizing agent and $Cl_2$ is already in a state where it is not easily oxidized further by $HNO_3$ under standard conditions. Thus,chlorine reacts most slowly (or effectively not at all) compared to the others.
