Question

State whether the given statement is true or false.

$\text{Dil.}HCl$ oxidises metallic $Fe$ to $F{e}^{2+}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know that, a metal on reaction with an acid produces a salt and hydrogen gas.

$\text{Dil.}HCl$ oxidises $Fe$ metal to $F{e}^{+}2$. The reaction involved is :

$Fe\left(s\right)+HCl\left(aq\right)\to FeCl₂\left(aq\right)+H₂\left(g\right)$

Thus, the given statement is true.
