When zinc metal is treated with a dilute solution of a strong acid, a gas is evolved, which is utilised in the hydrogenation of oil. Name the gas evolved. Write the chemical equation of the reaction and also write a test to detect the gas formed.
When zinc reacts with dilute solution of strong acid, it forms salt and hydrogen gas is evolved.
Zn + 2HCl ------> 2nCl2 + H2 When a burning splinter is brought near the mouth of the test tube, the gas burns 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 +...
(a) When dilute sulphuric acid is poured on a copper plate, there will be evolution of hydrogen gas along with the formation of blue color crystals of copper sulphate.
CuSO4 +...
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.
...
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...
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...
When the colourless gas was tested with a burning matchstick, the matchstick extinguished and the gas burnt with a pop sound. This is because when zinc granules are added to...
