प्रश्न
Hydrogen is evolved when dilute HCl reacts with magnesium, but nothing happens in the case of mercury and silver. Explain.
उत्तर
Hydrogen is evolved when dilute HCl reacts with magnesium which is placed above hydrogen in the activity series. However, this does not occur for metals below hydrogen such as mercury and silver. This is because only metals that are more reactive than hydrogen can displace it from HCl.
