Answer 1

Answer:

A:reaction will occurr faster

Answer 2

If we take dry HCl gas instead of an aqueous solution of HCl,

(c) Reaction will not occur

• Now we know that the property of every acid is to release hydronium ions $(H_3O^+)$ when they are reacted with any other metal.
• An aqueous solution of HCl means that it is in acid form and when it is made to react with water it will release the hydronium ions.
• Dry HCl is in the gaseous form, therefore, there are no properties of acid and hence it cannot release any hydronium ions and there will be no reaction.
