I assume you mean to say nitric acid. Trioxonitrate V acid for HNO3 is rubbish.
The reason HNO3 is not used is because HNO3 is such a strong oxidizing agent that you don't get H2 gas but rather either NO2 gas or NO gas depending upon how strong the HNO3 is.
Why is trioxonitrate v acid not used for preparing hydrogen from metals
