Question

Why h2so4 react with copper as copper is less reactive than hydrogen?

Answer 1

Hi my dear friend,

Hydrogen ions from the acid gain electrons to form hydrogen gas. ... Metals more reactive than magnesium, such as sodium, potassium and calcium, react explosively with dilute hydrochloric and sulphuric acids. Less reactive metals such as copper, silver and gold do not react with these acids.
