How to dilute an acid. Include the product formed.

Explanation:

1. Acids react with metals to release hydrogen gas

Take some granules of zinc in one glass test tube and magnesium in another glass test tube and magnesium in another glass test tube. Pour dilute hydrochloric acid in one and sulphuric acid in the second. Reaction takes place and a gas is released in each. Test the gas for hydrogen by bringing a bur…

2. Acid reacts with a base (metallic oxide) to form salt and water

HCl + ZnO → ZnCl2 + H2O Acid reacts with an alkali (hydroxide) to form salt and water. HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O In these Reactions acid neutralizes the base to form neutral substances like salt and water.

3. Acids reacting with Metals

The reactions of dilute acids with a variety of different metals can be investigated, small fresh samples of metals are placed in 2ml samples of dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. The rate of reaction depends on the 1. Concentration of the acid – if the acid is too dilute the reaction is very slow. 2. Type of metal

hydrogen is a compound or a single element and a element is a pure substence that cannot be separated into simpler subtances

clorine is a compound its a chemical substance that forms when two or more different elements combine

so both hydrogen and clorine are compounds
