In a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid, the changes accompanying a reaction are:
Evolution of gas and heat
Evolution of steam
Formation of precipitate
Formation of dazzling white light
Hydrogen gas and heat are produced in the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.
When zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride is formed along with the evolution of gas X. The evolved gas is colourless, odourless and neutral to litmus. So, gas X is:
