Best Answer

The reaction results vastly varies from the concentration of the hydrochloric acid. If copper is added to a solution of the dilute acid, no reaction would take place. If it is concentrated acid, it would form the complex tetrachlorocuprate(II) ion. The medium concentrated acids give off the intermediate products when forming the above ion.

Does a new penny float in hcl?

when the penny is reacted with HCl, there must be somesort of area where the copper on the outside of the penny is removed so that the HCl can react with the zinc inside because HCl does not react with copper. Once the HCl reacts with the Zn inside, it will dissapear and therefore become less dense then the ZnCl2 that is formed which causes the penny to float


What happens when copper reacts with an acid?

Depending on the acid, different things happen. With sulphuric acid: Cu + H2SO4 ----> CuSO4 + H2So, Copper Sulphate and Hydrogen With hydrochloric acid: Cu + HCl ----> CuCl2 + H2So, Copper Chloride and Hydrogen In general, a metal + an acid ----> a base and hydrogen gas.
