When reactive metals react with dilute hydrochloric acids, gives a salt and hydrogen gas
Metal + Dilute acid → Salt + Hydrogen Reaction between Iron and H2SO4:
Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
Solution: weight of metal carbonate/GEW = NaXVa in lt
0.84/GEW = 0.5X40/1000
GEW of metal carbonate = 42
GEW of Metal = 42 - GEW of CO3-2 = 42-30 = 12g
The following reaction takes place:
Fe + 2HCl -----> FeCl2 + H2
Iron Hydrochloric acid lron chloride Hydrogen
Thus, hydrogen and iron chloride are produced. Therefore, (a) is the correct answer.
When an active rnetal like Zn reacts with HCl, the gas produced burns with a pop sound which indicates that it is hydrogen gas.
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> ZnCl2(s)+ H2(g)
Zinc is above hydrogen rvhereas copper is below hydrogen in the activity series of metals. That is why zinc displaces hydrogen from dilute hydrochloric acid, while copper does not.

(i) The temperature of the reaction mixture rises when aluminium is added because it is an exothernic reaction.
(ii) Reaction of sodium metal is found to be highly explosive because it...
When a metal reacts with an acid, usually hydrogen gas is liberated. For example, zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid as follows:
Zn H2SO4 -----> ZnSO4 + ...
The gas that extinguishes a burning candle is carbon dioxide. It is formed by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on a metal carbonate or metal hydrogen carbonate and produces...
In both cases, the gas evolved is H2. When calcium reacts with water the heat evolved is not sufficient for hydrogen to catch fire. On the other hand, sodium metal...
Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid because zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. However, copper does not liberate hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid...
It is a displacement reaction.
Metal X is more reactive than metal Y
Metal X is displacing metal Y from its salt solution. A more reactive metal displaces less reactive one from...
