Zn gives H2 gas with H2SO4 and HCl but not with HNO3 because
- AZn act as oxidising agent when react with HNO3
- BHNO3 is weaker acid than H2SO4 and HCl
- CIn electrochemical series Zn is above hydrogen
- DNO is reduced in preference to hydronium ion.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Zinc is on the top position of hydrogen in
electrochemical series. So Zn displaces H2
from
dilute H2SO4
and HCl with liberation of H2
.
Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4
- H2
On the other hand HNO3 is an oxidising agent. Hydrogen obtained in this reaction is converted into H2O.
Zn + 2HNO3 Zn(NO3 )2 - 2H
2HNO3 H2O + 2NO2 - O
2H + O H2O.
