What do you observe if dilute hydrochloric acid is added to the mixture of iron and sulphur?

ironchloride and sulphuric acid


What do you get when you add iron fillings to sulfuric acid?

If it is added to a solution of dilute sulfuric acid, it will react slowly liberating hydrogen gas. With concentrated acid, iron will undergo a series of red-ox reactions.


What happens when dilute sulfuric acid is added to a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur powder?

H2 (g) + FeSO4 (s) hydrogen gas and iron sulphate


What happens when you add dilute hydrochloric acid to iron rod?

Any dilute acid will react with iron: 2Fe + 6H+ --> 2Fe3+(aq) + 3H2,(gas)


Chemical reaction for iron added to dilute sulfuric acid?

The chemical reaction between iron and dilute sulfuric acid is a redox reaction. The iron reacts with the sulfuric acid to form iron(II) sulfate and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2 Fe + 3 H2SO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + 3 H2

What you get from nitric acid plus iron?

Iron + Nitric acid ----> Iron(III) nitrate + Water + Nitrogen Dioxide Fe + HNO3 ----> Fe(NO3)3 + H2O + NO2 NOTE: Nitrogen dioxide will come out only if the acid is concentrated. If it is dilute, Nitrogen monoxide will be produced.


What is the reaction of iron with dilute nitric acid concentrated nitric acid and very dilute nitric acid?

1-diluted : Fe+4HNo3ـــــــــــــــdilu. + heatــــــــــــ Fe(No3)3+2H2o+No 2-with concentrated no reaction occurs becase of the iron passivity which is due to the oxidizing property of the acid were a layer of the metal oxide is formed which is complete and non porous so it protects the metal from further reaction


When added with acid which metal reacts fastest iron or magnesium?

magnesium
