Question:
Which of the following gases is produced when zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Which of the following gases is produced when zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Show Hint
When a metal reacts with an acid, hydrogen gas is usually produced.
Updated On: Apr 19, 2025
- Oxygen
- Hydrogen
- Nitrogen
- Carbon dioxide
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
When zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, the reaction is:
\[
\text{Zn} + 2\text{HCl} \to \text{ZnCl}_2 + \text{H}_2
\]
Hydrogen gas (\(\text{H}_2\)) is released during this reaction.
Answer: The gas produced is hydrogen, so the correct answer is option (2).
