Solution

The correct options are
B Small bubbles of a gas appear on the surface of zinc pieces.
D The gas released will give a pop sound with a glowing splinter.
When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to zinc pieces taken in a test tube, the zinc metal displaces the hydrogen from the acid and hydrogen gas comes out in the form of small bubbles. Hydrogen gas gives a pop sound with glowing splinter. This is a displacement reaction. It occurs as follows:

Zn+2HCl(dil.)ZnCl2+H2Hydrogen gas
