Answers to the equations for reactions between acids and metals


2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq)     2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

2Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq)     Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2(g)


Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq)     ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq)     ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)


Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq)     FeCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq)     FeSO4(aq) + H2(g)


If you had problems with these, you need to go back to the pages about writing formulae and equations and spend more time on them!
