Hydrochloric acid is an oxidizing agent and reacts actively with metals. Metals – zinc, aluminum, iron in a series of voltages of metals stand up to hydrogen, so the reaction of their interaction with hydrochloric acid is possible. Chemical reactions of hydrochloric acid with silver and mercury do not go, since metals are after hydrogen and have a low reducing ability. Here are some examples:
HCL + Ag – the reaction does not go;
HCL + Zn = ZnCL2 + H2;
6HCL + 2AL = 2ALCL3 + 3H2;
6HCL + 2Fe = 2FeCL2 + 3H2:
HCL + Hg – no reaction.
In the reactions of metals with hydrochloric acid, hydrogen is released and a metal salt is formed.
