metals which are below at H in the reactivity series are not able to remove hydrogen from HCl and there no reaction takes place.Thus no gas will be produced.
The metal will be Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, etc.

The metal x is 'Ag'.
To make a 10% HCl solution, combine water and HCl in a 10:1 ratio, which means that for every 100 mL of water, 10mL of HCl is needed to achieve the desired concentration.
We know that metals are listed in decreasing order of chemical reactivity in the reactivity series.
K>Na>Ca>Mg>Al>Zn>Fe>Pb>Sn>H>Cu>Hg>Ag>Au
Metals that are above hydrogen in the reactive series, such as K and Na, are violent when allowed to react with hydrochloric acid because they reduce hydrogen ions to hydrogen gas, whereas metals that are below H, such as copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), gold (Au), and silver (Ag), do not react with hydrochloric acid.
