Bulk density is a mainly a property of powders, granules and other separated solids, usually used in minerals like soil or gravel. It is defined as the total amount of particles over the total volume they occupy.
Granules are preferred over zinc strips for the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid because granules have a larger surface area, allowing for a faster reaction. The increased surface area of granules results in more zinc atoms being in contact with the hydrochloric acid, leading to a more efficient reaction. This results in a quicker production of hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
I prefer my eggs cooked over hard.
The color change of zinc granules when reacting with HCl is not significant. However, over time, the zinc granules will start to lose their shine and develop a dull appearance due to the formation of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
