Which metal react with dilute hcl?

Many metals including alkali metals, alkali earth metals, chromium, nickel and zinc react with dilute hydrochloric acid.


Does an alkali easily neutralize a concentrated acid or a dilute acid?

Alkalies can neutralize both concentrated and dilute acids, but dilute acids are 'more easily' neutralized (i.e. require a smaller amount of alkali for the same amount of acid). It is a simple chemical reaction, the amount of alkali required to neutralize an acid can be calculated if you know how they react and the strengths of the acid and alkali. E.g. if you use Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to neutralize Hydrochloric acid (HCL) the reaction is: KOH + HCL --) KCL + H2O So one molecule of KOH neutralizes one molecule of HCL If you have 1 molar KOH, then : 10 ml of dilute HCL (0.1 molar strength) will be neutralized by 1 ml of KOH 10 ml of a strong HCL (10 molar strength) will be neutralized by 100 ml of KOH Hope that helps.


What is diloute acid?

Did you mean Dilute acid , dilute acid means , the acid which has low concentration , which has a mixture of water in it .


Are alkalies safer then acids?

No - they are equally harmful.It has to do with the corrosiveness and toxicity of the product in question. An alkali can be every bit as hazardous as most acids - with the exception of hydrofluoric acid, which is in a league of its own.Easy examples:I have a container of sodium bicarbonate solution with pH of 9, and a container of dilute hydrochloric acid with pH of 3. Sodium bicarbonate is a benign alkali - people drink it all the time and put it in food - and the HCl is fairly potent. In this case acid is more dangerous than alkali.I also have a container of dilute vinegar with pH of 6, and a container of sodium hydroxide solution with pH of 14. In this case the alkali is far more dangerous.


Do weak and dilute mean the same thing?

NO!!!! Weak ; The acid only releases a few of its H^+ into the solution Dilute ; The acid releases all its H^+ , but there is a lot of solvent.
