Question

effect of dilute sulphuric acid on metal​

Answer 1

• Even dilute sulfuric acid reacts with many metals via a single displacement reaction as with other typical acids, producing hydrogen gas and salts (the metal sulfate). It attacks reactive metals (metals at positions above copper in the reactivity series) such as iron, aluminium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and nickel.

Answer 2

Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with metals to form metallic sulphate and hydrogen.

Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2

Fe + H2SO4 → Fe2SO4 + H2
