Hno3 is a great oxidising agent , because in it unlike the other acids intead of H+ ion the N03- ion is reduced. But how does it get reduced. Which mechanism does it follow. I have read that everywhere that as it is in it's maximum oxidation state it gets reduced to a lower one. But what actually attracts the electron to it which helps is get reduced
