Why does Fe reacts with dil. H2SO4 to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?

Becayse Iron (Fe) is higher than hydrogen (H) in the chemical reactivity series so it displaces it forming hydrogen gas and Iron sulphate. But Copper (Cu) is lower than hydrogen in the chemical reactivity series so it cannot dispalce hydrogen thus not liberating hydrogen gas

Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
Mg H2SO4 MgSO4 H2?
Mg+H2SO4---> MgSO4+H2 is already a properly balanced equation .Magnesium (Mg) + sulphuric acid (H2SO4) will give MgH2SO4 (a corresponding metallic salt) + hydrogen gas.
When dilute sulfuric acid reacts with aluminium?
Yes. It reacts to give aluminium sulfate and hydrogen gas.
What is reaction for Cu2O plus H2SO4?
the reaction between cupperous oxide and sulphuric acid will give you a product of copper sulphate and water which is CuSO4 and H2o. I think this is correct product obtained as far as I know and this is a important chemical reation which is frequently udes in many industrial productions.
Does zinc react to a weak acid?
Yes, it reacts with zinc to give out hydrogen.

What gas is given off when a metal reacts with acid?
Acid gives off hydrogen gas if it is hydrogen containing acid.
What does lead sulphuric acid make?
Lead reacts very slowly with dilute sulphuric acid to give lead sulphate and hydrogen gas.Pb(s) + H2SO4 (aq) -> PbSO4(aq) + H2(g)
What is the acid that reacts with copper 2 carbonate to give a blue solution?
When dilute sulfuric acid reacts with copper(II) carbonate, blue copper(II) sulfate solution is produced.
When dilute sulfuric acid reacts with aluminium?
Yes. It reacts to give aluminium sulfate and hydrogen gas.

What reacts with copper oxide to produce copper metal?
If a copper is clean it doesn't react to acid, unless precisely if the acid is also an oxidising agent.It happens because copper is below hydrogen in the activities series. (will notice that this is not really an explanation, just an impressive way of saying that copper is not reactive enough to react with acids.) if any reason the copper surface has been oxidised, the copper oxide will dissolve in acid that's the only time it will react to acid. If the acid is strongly oxidising, the copper can dissolve to make a solution of the copper salt. For example, copper dissolves in concentrated nitric acid to give you nitrogen oxides and copper nitrate in solution, and also in hot concentrated sulphuric acid to give you sulphur dioxide and copper hydrogen-sulphate in solution.
Does zinc reacts with the acid?
Yes it does. It is a reactive metal and displaces hydrogen from the acids to give a zinc salt and hydrogen gas.
When magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid what gas does it give off?
Hydrogen gas
What is the difference between black Copper oxide and black Manganese dioxide?
Copper II oxide reacts with conc. HCl to give CuCl2 but no gas. Bot Manganese dioxide reacts with conc. HCl to give a greenish yellow gas i.e. Chlorine.
