copper does not with hcl . then how 'cu +2hcl=cucl2+h2 . Explain
Dear Student,
The reaction Cu + 2HCl = CuCl2 + H2
is the reaction of copper with hydrogen chloride, which is a gas.
HCl i.e. hydrochloric acid, is actually, the HCl gas dissolved in water & the maximum concentration it can have, is 34%.
So, conc. HCl is actually not too strong, like gaseous HCl.
Cu reacts with hydrogen chloride, not hydrochloric acid.
