No, HCl acid does not react with copper.

Only those metals whose standard reduction potentials are lower than that of hydrogen react with non-oxidising acids like HCl and dil.H2SO4, and displace hydrogen from them.

Copper has higher reduction potential (more positive) than hydrogen, and it does not react with HCl acid

Cu + HCl gives CuCl2 + H2
CuCl2 is a salt

omsingh8085: no it doesn't react because cu is less reactive then hydrogen
Jiyaa1: ya i m sorry
