An active metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas. When a burning splinter is brought close to the gas evolved, pop sound is produced and the gas continues to burn.
The gas liberated is hydrogen and it can be tested by taking a burning match stick near the mouth of the test tube in which reaction is taking place. The match stick will extinguish with a pop sound.
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 +...
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
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.
...
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...
Turmeric is yellow in colour. When a base is added to it, the solution turns into pink colour. However turmeric remains yellow when an acid or neutral solution is added...
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...
