Question

Reaction between iron and hydro choloric acid

Answer 1

Answer:

Fe(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → FeCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)

Explanation:

Iron reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce iron(II) chloride and hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

When dilute Hydrochloric acid is added to iron filings, iron chloride & hydrogen gas is produced. The iron displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form iron (II) chloride & hydrogen gas.
