Q. Hydrogen gas is not liberated when the following metal is added to dil. HCl

A) Ag
B) Zn
C) Mg
D) Sn
Explanation

(a)
The metals, present below hydrogen in the electrochemical series, cannot liberate hydrogen from the dilute acids.
Among the given metal only Ag is present below hydrogen in electrochemical series, so it does not evolve hydrogen with$dil\ HCl$.
$Ag\ + \ dil.\ HCl\ \rightarrow No\ reaction$
