Name a metal that reacts vigorously with dil.HCl

Open in App

Solution

Metals react with dilute acids to form metal salts and hydrogen gas.
Alkali metals can react vigorously with dilute HCl to give hydrogen and metal salt.
An example of such a metal is sodium.
$\underset{Sodium}{2 Na (s)} + \underset{dil . Hydrochloric acid}{2 HCl (aq)} \to \underset{Sodium chloride}{2 NaCl (aq)} + \underset{Hydrogen}{H_{2} (g)}$
