Transition metals and acid help?? 10 points

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-22] [Hit: ]
its obvious that it reacts a lot compared to other substances reacting with Dilute HCl.-more electropositive.......
ok so i made an experiment where i put

- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Copper
- Zinc
-Tin
-Aluminium
seperately in test tubes and added 1M hydrochloric acid into them
now calcium and magnesium reacted a lot but the transition metals didnt really do anything cept a few lil bubbles formed
however when i looked up zinc with acid, or copper with acid, on youtube, they reacted a lot to more concentrated HCl, why is this?

-
because metals in group 1A and 2A are highly reactive ---> they can react with strong acids such as HCl (or H2SO4), even when the acid has a low concentration. But with transition metals, their reactivities are not that high, most of them are just slightly reactive. Thats why to make the reaction occur faster and easier, you have to use a higher concentration acid.

This is because concentrated HCl has more reactant particles in a given volume and there is a higher rate of reaction. So when Zinc reacts with concentrated HCl, its obvious that it reacts a lot compared to other substances reacting with Dilute HCl.

more electropositive. the position of the metals Cu and Zn depends for this
