Question:
Acids like HCl ionize completely when dissolved in water to produce H+(aq) and Cl–(aq) ions. Metals (M) react with acids (H+) as follows:
M(s) + H+(aq) → M+n(aq) + H2(g)
where n depends on the specific metal involved. Based on the activity series, which of the choices below would be the best for the lining of a tank intended for use in the storage of hydrochloric acid (HCl)?
(a) Copper
