When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to granulated zinc placed in a test tube, the observation made is:
(1) the surface of the metal turns shining.(2)the reaction mixture turns milky.
(3)odour of chlorine is observed.(4)a colourless and odourless gas evolves with bubbles.
"


Correct answer: (4) a colourless and odourless gas evolves with bubbles.

Explanation: When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to granulated zinc, hydrogen gas is produced, which is a colourless and odourless gas and is evolved with bubbles.

The chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

$2HCl(l)+Zn(s)→ZnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$
