Give the balanced equations for the following: (a) Iron reacts with dilute HCl
(a) Iron reacts with dilute HCl
Metals occurring above hydrogen in the activity series liberate hydrogen from acids with ease.MagnesiumMg,aluminiumAl,zincZn,ironFe,tinSnandleadPb react safely with dilute acids.
Fe+2HCl→FeCl2+H2↑(iron) (Acid) (Iron(II) Chloride) (Hydrogen gas)
Write word equations and then balanced equations for the reaction taking
place when −
(a) dilute sulphuric acid reacts with zinc granules.
(b) dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium ribbon.
(c) dilute sulphuric acid reacts with aluminium powder.
(d) dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron filings.
