Hydrogen gas is not liberated when the following metal is added to dil \(\mathrm{HCl}\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ag}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Zn}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Mg}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Sn}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Ag}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The metals, present below hydrogen in the electrochemical series, cannot liberate hydrogen from the dilute acids.
Among the given metals only \(\mathrm{Ag}\) is present below hydrogen in electrochemical series, so it does not evolve hydrogen with dil HCl.
\[
\mathrm{Ag}+\text { dil } \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow \text { No reaction }
\]
