Question

What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to iron filing? *

* Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced

* Chlorine gas and iron hydroxide are produced

* No reaction takes place

* Iron salt and water are produced​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced .

Explanation:

2HCl + Fe ----> FeCl2 + H2

Answer 2

When dilute Hydrochloric acid is added to iron filings, iron(II) chloride & hydrogen gas is produced. In this reaction iron displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form iron chloride & hydrogen gas this reaction is a single displacement reaction.

Explanation:

When dilute HCl is added to iron fillings the reaction proceeds as:

2HCl+Fe→FeCl
