When any metal react with acid so the hydrogen gas is produced .Why? |
|
Answer» Explanation: The GENERAL equation for a metal reacting with an acid is. metal + acid → salt + hydrogen Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless gas. So you may wish to confirm that the gas PRODUCED is indeed hydrogen. In order to do this, run your EXPERIMENT in a test tube. (E.g fill a SMALL amount of acid, place some metal in, e.g magnesium) and place a bung inside the test tube to TRAP the gas. Then, introduce a burning splint to the test tube. If a “Squeaky pop” occurs then you have confirmed that hydrogen is produced. |
