Could anybody tell me how liquid HCl and H2SO4 react with the metals Mg, Cu, and Zn visibly? I think that Cu is nonreactive with both, although I'm not positive. Also, could somebody show me an equation for each reaction? I've got the following, but I don't know if it is correct or not, and it's unfinished:
HCl + Zn --> H + ?
HCl + Mg --> H + ?
HCl + Cu --> Nonreactive
H2SO4 + Zn --> H + ?
H2SO4 + Mg --> H + ?
H2SO4 + Cu --> Nonreactive
Answer:
u r rite Cu is non ractive coz it's below hydrogen in da electrochemical series dats y it can't replace Hydrogen like da oder two.
although Cu reacts wid HNO3(conc) to liberate NO2, bt unreactive in dis case.
Zn n Mg wud react wid organic acids(HCl n H2SO4) to liberate H2 n form da respective salts.
2HCL + Zn --> H2 + ZnCl2
H2SO4 + Mg --> H2 + MgSO4
hope u got wat u wanted.
