Question
Write word equations and then balanced equations for the reaction taking place when–
  1. Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with zinc granules.
  2. Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium ribbon.
  3. Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with aluminium powder.
  4. Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron filings.

Answer

  1. Zinc + Sulphuric acid Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

  1. Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride + Hydrogen gas

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

  1. Aluminum + Sulphuric acid Aluminum sulphate + Hydrogen gas

2Al + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2

  1. Iron + Hydrochloric acid Iron chloride + Hydrogen

Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H2
