Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag) react with 1 M sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) to produce hydrogen gas (H₂), we need to analyze the standard electrode potentials of both metals and their ability to displace hydrogen from the acid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Reaction** - When metals react with acids, they can either displace hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid to produce hydrogen gas or not react at all. The general reaction for a metal M with an acid can be represented as: \[ M + 2H^+ \rightarrow M^{2+} + H_2 ...
