Answer the following questions:
You have learned that metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas, depending on their position in the reactivity series. You are given five metals \(Mg\), \(Al\), \(Zn\), \(Fe\), and \(Cu\) and asked to test their reactions with dilute hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)) and dilute nitric acid (\(HNO_3\)).
i. Which of the following metals would you expect to react with both \(HCl\) and very dilute \(HNO_3\)?
ii. Which of the following metals does not react with dilute \(HCl\)?
