Question

10. Equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B. Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is added to test tube A, while acetic acid (CH,COOH) is added to test tube B. Amount and concentration taken for both the acids are same. In which test tube will the fizzing occur more vigorously and why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B hydrochloric acid HCL is added to test tube a while acetic acid ch3cooh is added to test tube B amount and concentration taken for both the acids are same in which test tube will the fizzing

Answer 2

Explanation:

Magnesium metal when reacts with an acid gives off hydrogen gas in the reaction. In test tube A fizzing occurs more vigorously because HCl is stronger acid than acetic acid. Hence, HCl liberates hydrogen gas more vigorously, which causes fizzing more vigorously..

Hope its help..
