Question
What do you observe when ferrous sulphate solution is added to an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
Solution
When ferrous sulphate solution is added to sodium hydroxide solution, a dirty green ppt. of ferrous hydroxide is formed.

Metal ‘A’ has electronic configuration 2, 8, 1 and metal ‘B’ has electronic configuration 2, 8, 8, 2. Out of these, which metal is more reactive? Write the reaction of this metal with dilute HCl acid.
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.
