Question: 1 / 400

What sound does copper produce when it reacts with dilute acid?

Small squeak

Big pop

No sound

When copper reacts with dilute acid, it typically does not produce any sound. This is because copper is generally unreactive with dilute acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid under normal conditions. There is no vigorous reaction occurring that would typically generate noise, such as fizzing or popping, which is often seen with metals that do react with dilute acids, like zinc or magnesium. Therefore, the lack of sound is consistent with copper's behavior in this context.

In contrast, the other options suggest various sounds that could occur during chemical reactions. Metals that do react vigorously produce sounds such as popping or fizzing, but since copper is not reacting significantly, those sounds do not apply here.
