Explanation:
* Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to liberate Hydrogen gas(H2) as it is more reactive than Hydrogen and hence, displace it.
* Copper is less reactive when compared to Hydrogen and hence cannot displace it.
* The same can be understood by looking at the activity series of metals.
