1.Equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is added to test tube A , while acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is added to test tube B.In which test tube will the fizzing occur more vigorously and why?

Solution

In both the test tubes hydrogen gas is formed. The HCl is strong acid then acetic acid so more hydrogen gas is formed in test tube A which results in vigorous fizzing.
