What will happen when a piece of zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?

Zinc + Hydrochloric acid is a basic metal acid reaction. When the Zinc is added to the acid, the zinc dissolves and reacts with the acid, forming hydrogen gas and the salt Zinc Chloride.
These sorts of reactions (metal + acid) will always result in a salt (in this case, zinc chloride) and hydrogen gas. The observations from this experiment would be white-gray solid is added to colorless liquid. Solid dissolves and a colorless, odorless gas is formed.
Zn + 2HCl -----> ZnCl2 + H2

What could happen if energy was added to a piece of solid steel?
The steel would get warmer and possibly become a liquid.
Does gastric juice dissolve CaCO3 in shrimp shell?
Calcium carbonate is soluble in hydrochloric acid. But is difficult to dissolve in stomach a big piece of a shell.
What is supposed to happen if you put a water thermometer in the sun with a piece of cloth covering it?
try it.
How could you show that magnesium reacts faster with acid than with water?
*when putting a piece of magnesium into dilute hydrocloric acid . *then hydrogen gas bubbles off. *this shows that magnesium react quickly in acid.
How do you see mutation in a karyotype?
You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.
When a piece of magnesium is added to dilute hydrochloric acid occurs and hydrogen gas is released from the mixtureThe fizzing is evidence that has occured between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is?
That a reaction has occurred between the magnesium & hydrochloric acid: Mg(s) + HCL(aq) --> MgCl(aq) + H2(g)
What happens when 5 ml dilute acid added to a piece of mossy zinc?
If the acid is hydrochloric acid, the solution bubbles, and the zinc diminishes and may disappear if there's enough acid. If hydrochloric acid was used, the reaction would be Zn + HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2 . The bubbles are hydrogen gas. The zinc chloride would be dissolved in aqueous solution.
What would happen if additional weight was added to a piece of crust?
by sinking
What would happen if a piece of potassium is cut off?
Well if u cut a piece nothing will happen because it is by itself if u cut it with a blade with another substance like hydrochloric acid than a reaction will happen( lights up ) but I there is no other substances mixing with it that nothing will happen
Hydrochloric acid is added to a beaker containing a piece of zinc As a result zinc chloride is formed as hydrogen gas is released This is an example of what?
chemical reaction
What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a piece of sandstone?
The sandstone grains will not be affected, but the cementing material between grains could react with dilute hydrochloric acid if it is composed of calcite. Chances are, though, that the cementing material is silicate in nature, and therefore will not react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
A piece of iron is placed in hydrochloric acid what are the products?
When a piece of iron is placed in hydrochloric acid, the products are Iron (II) chloride and hydrogen gas.
What could happen if enerygy was added to a piece of solid steel?
Heat and possibly become a liquid
A piece of metallic calcium is added to dilute hydrobromic acid. One of the products is a clear colourless gas which is flammable the other is a solution of calicium bromide.write a balanced equa.?
A compound!
What could happen if energy was Added to a piece solid steel?
The steel would get warmer and possibly become a liquid.
What happens when water and chalk mix?
When a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on a piece of Chalk, the acid reacts with the calcite and forms bubbles of carbon dioxide. This "fizz" reaction is so characteristic of limestone than many geologists carry a small bottle of dilute hydrochloric acid into the field for a rapid and easy identification of limestone. During the reaction, the bubbles of carbon dioxide rise, then turn a brownish color, and then decrease in size. This is weird because the hydrochloric acid starts out as a white fizz.
Which piece of apparatus is used to add dilute nitric acid to potassium hydroxide?
a burette
