Question

zinc liberates hydrogen gas when it reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid where as copper does not . explain why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid whereas copper does not because it depends on the reactivity of metal to get the hydrogen gas as the product with dilute acid. ... Therefore, copper cannot replace hydrogen from "hydrochloric acid" to form "copper chloride" and hydrogen like zinc.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

this is because zinc has more reacting capacity than that of copper

Explanation:

according to the reactivity series zinc is above copper hence having more reacting capacity.
