Zinc and HCl
Explanation:
Zn + 2HCl ----> H2 + ZnCl2
Zinc reacts with diluted hydrochloric acid to form Zinc Chloride and hydrogen gas is also liberated. This happens because zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. This is a displacement reaction. But copper does not react with HCl as copper is less reactive than hydrogen. This reaction is slow with diluted HCl, but fast with concentrated HCl.
