If copper wire was wrapped around a peice of Zinc, then placed in HCl, what would occur in the reaction for both metals? What would the physical properties be after the reaction?Also, if the same reaction happened except some copper wire lifted the zinc from the bottom of the test tube, what changes would happen compared to the first experiment?Thankyoou!
Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid = Zinc Chloride + Hydrogen
Copper doesn't react with HCl. The Zinc would combine with the Chlorine to form zinc chloride. Hydrogen gas would be released.
If copper wire was wrapped around a piece of Zinc, then placed in HCl, what would occur in the reaction for both metals? What would the physical properties be after the reaction? Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (gas) When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, the result is a Zinc chloride solution and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas will bubble out of the solution. Your chemistry book should have a table called Activity series. This is a list of metals. The metals above hydrogen will react with HCl. The metals below hydrogen will not react with HCl Copper is below hydrogen, so copper will not react with HCl Copper is more stable than Zinc. lithium potassium strontium calcium sodium ______________________________________... magnesium aluminum zinc chromium ______________________________________... iron cadmium cobalt nickel tin lead ______________________________________...

Once the zinc is lifted the zinc out of the HCl solution, the reaction stops,
