Dilute hydrochloric acid is added to granulated zinc taken in a test tube. The following observation are recorded. Point out the correct observation:
The chemical reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and granulated zinc is represented as:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂ ↑
The product zinc chloride, does not turn the reaction milky. Hydrogen gas evolved is colourless and odourless and released by the formation of bubbles.
