Equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B. Hydrochloric acid is added to test tube A. while acetic acid is added to test tube B. Amount and concentration of both the acids are same. In which test tube will the fizzing occur more vigorously and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1) The fizzing occur more vigorously in .test tube A.
2) Hydrochloric acid conta ins more `H_3O^+` ions and it is a strong acid. Hence the reaction will be faster in test tube A.
3) Acetic acid contains fewer `H_3O^+` ions and it is a weak acid. Hence the reaction Will be slower.
