प्रश्न
Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid whereas copper does not. Explain why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Zinc (Zn) is placed above hydrogen in the activity series. It therefore, displaces hydrogen from dilute HCl.
`"Zn"("s") + 2"HCl"("aq") -> "ZnCl"_2("aq") + "H"_2("g")`
Copper is placed below hydrogen and therefore, does not react with dilute HCl.
Cu (s) + HCl (aq) → No action.
