Question

hello, I ran out of time in lab yesterday and I did not get tofinish my last lab for this week. The question we're supposeto answer is do all metals behave the same way in a chemicalreaction with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to give off hydrogen gas(H2)?

The metals we were supposed to use were Zn, Al, Mg, and Cu.

I only had enough time to try this experiment with Zinc. Iknow it does it give off hydrogen gas, but I don't know about theothers. Can someone please tell me what I would have seen ifI had time to do the lab completely?

Explanation / Answer

Cu would have been the only one of these four to NOT react with HCl to produce H2.
