Question
Observe the following diagram and identify the type of reaction and write observation.
Solution
- The type of reaction occurring in the given diagram is displacement reaction.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Iron}}{Fe_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Copper sulphate}}{CuSO_{4(aq)}} -> \underset{\text{Ferrous sulphate}}{FeSO_{4(aq)}} + \underset{\text{Copper}}{Cu_{(s)}}}\] - Observations:
- The blue colour of the solution will turn to green in test tube A and copper coating will form on iron nail because iron displaces copper from copper sulphate.
- The reaction will not occur in test tube B because iron is more reactive than copper.

Three metal samples of magnesium, aluminium and iron were taken and rubbed with sandpaper. These samples were then put separately in test tubes containing dilute hydrochloric acid. Thermometers were also suspended in each test tube so that their bulbs dipped in the acid. The rate of formation of bubbles was observed. The above activity was repeated with dilute nitric acid and the observations were recorded.
Answer the following questions:
(i) When the activity was done with dilute hydrochloric acid, then in which one of the test tubes was the rate of formation of bubbles the fastest and the thermometer showed the highest temperature?
(ii) Which metal did not react with dilute hydrochloric acid? Give reason.
(iii) Why is hydrogen gas not evolved when a metal reacts with dilute nitric acid? Name the ultimate products formed in the reaction.
