q) equal lengths of mg ribbon are taken in test tubes A and B. hydrochloric acid is added to test tube A while acetic acid is added to test tube B. in which case the reaction would occur more vigourously
and why? write the chemical equations for reaction in test tubes A and B.

Expert Answer
Fizzing in the reaction is due to evolution of hydrogen gas by the action of metal on acid.
In test tube A :
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) →MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
In test tube B :
Mg + CH3COOH(aq) → (CH3COO)2Mg + H2(g)
Since hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and acetic acid is a weak acid, so evolution of H2 gas occurs more readily in case of HCl.
