Acids don't "melt" materials, but "take them apart" in a chemical way. Most plastics won't be affected to a great degree by hydrochloric acid. It is also used in making plastic to destroy amylopectin. hydrochloric acid is a, mixture of hydrogen, chlorine, and acid. it is also used to kill wenjie

How do you test hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal?

you put the hydrochloric acid in a test tube then you put the magnesium metal in the test tube with the hydrochloric acid in it then you put a cork on the top ofthe test tube and watch it fizz.


Does hydrochloric acid taste good?

It tastes like death. It will kill you. Hydrochloric Acid will slowly burn and melt away your oesophagus (the tube from your mouth to stomach). If you somehow survive, you'll probably never swallow again and will have to be fed through an artificial tube for the rest of your life. Stick to drinking Pepsi.


Why the ammonium chloride is formed nearer to the hydrochloric acid end of the tube than the ammonia solution end?

Ammonium chloride is formed nearer to the hydrochloric acid end of the tube because ammonium chloride is a product of the reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid. As ammonia gas moves towards the hydrochloric acid, it reacts with the acid to form white smoke, which is ammonium chloride. This reaction creates a visible white ring closer to the hydrochloric acid end.


Which gas is evolved when hydrochloric acid is added over a piece of marble in one test tube and on zinc granules in the second test tube?

Zinc (Zn) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce zinc chloride (ZnCl2), a salt and hydrogen gas (H2). Marble is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) which is a salt, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide gas (CO2). The first test tube with water evolves carbon dioxide and the second test tube with zinc granules evolves hydrogen gas.


How can you collect hydrogen coming from a chemical reaction of magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid?

First of all, place bits of the magnesium into a test tube. Then pour the acid into the tube, in the meantime locking the tube with a balloon. Tighten it up and theres your stored hydrogen :)

How do you test for hydrochloric acid?

you collect it in a tube and put a lit split into the tube and if it makes a squeaky pop it's hydrogenn :}.


Is a test tube glass?

It can be, but you can get plastic ones that you can't heat (or they'd melt!)

What do you put in a test tube to make carbon dioxide?

You can put a carbonate compound (such as baking soda or calcium carbonate) and an acid (such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid) in a test tube to produce carbon dioxide gas through a chemical reaction.


Show experiment for metal and hydrochloric acid?

To test the reaction between a metal and hydrochloric acid, place a small piece of the metal (e.g. zinc or magnesium) into a test tube filled with hydrochloric acid. Observe the reaction, which may involve fizzing or bubbling as hydrogen gas is produced. You can test for the presence of hydrogen gas by placing a lit match at the mouth of the test tube – a pop sound indicates the presence of hydrogen gas.


How to test the presence of the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid?

Place a zinc strip in a clean test tube and add dilute hydrochloric acid. The strip dissolves and the result is a colorless solution. The products are zinc chloride and gaseous hydrogen.


What type of acid is secreted by the gastric pits in the stomach?

Gastric juice is secreted from gastric glands, which are located in narrow tube like structures called gastric pits. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogenand mucus in a healthy adult. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells, pepsinogen is secreted by gastric chief cells and mucus is secreted by mucus neck cells. Source: Wikipedia
