Equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are t...

Equal lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to test tube A, while acetic acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` is added to test tube B. Amount and concentration taken for both the acids are same. In which test tube will the fizzing occur more vigorously and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In test tube A hydrochloric acid is present which is a astrong acid as compared to acetic acid present in test tube B .
The fizzing occurs more vigorously in test tube A as HCl is strong acid and dissocuates completely into `H^(+)andCl^(-)` ions .
