Question
What do you observe when dilute sulphuric acid is added to granulated zinc?
Solution
When Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, hydrogen gas is evolved with an effervesence.

Give the steps involved in the extraction of metals of low and medium reactivity from their respective sulphide ores.
Explain the following
- Reactivity of Al decreases if it is dipped in HNO3
- Carbon cannot reduce the oxides of Na or Mg
- NaCl is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state
- Iron articles are galvanised.
- Metals like Na, K, Ca and Mg are never found in their free state in nature.
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.
OR
Name the type of reaction on the basis of which the reactivity of metals is decided. You have two metals X and Y. How would you decide which is more reactive than the other?
