What happens when (a)Magnesium is treated with dilute HCl (b)copper is treated with dilute HCl show the relevant equation |
Reaction of Metals with Dilute Acid:Potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium all react violently with dilute sulfuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid.Magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and lead react safely with dilute acid. Magnesium is the fastest and lead is the slowest of the six. Mg + 2HCl ----> MgCl2 + H2 Metals below hydrogen in the reactivity series (copper, silver, gold and platinum) will not react with dilute acid. They cannot displace hydrogen. Cu + HCl ----> no reaction Reactivity Series ![]() |
