Question

8.
You are provided with a container made up of aluminium. You are also provided
with solutions of dil. HCl, dil. HNO3, ZnCl2 and H2O. Out of these solutions
which solution, can be kept in the aluminium container? Name the type of
reaction taking place.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since copper is a less reactive metal and is placed below the hydrogen in reactivity series. Hence it does not react with HCl, HNO3 ZnCl2, and H2O. While aluminum is highly reactive metal and can react with these solutions. Thus container made of copper is suitable to keep the given solutions.04-Mar-2021
