Metals at higher positions than hydrogen in electrochemical series can displace hydrogen gas on reaction with dilute HCl. Whereas the metals at a lower position than hydrogen shall not react with dil. HCl.

Reaction of Fe, Mg and Na with dilute HCl produces hydrogen.

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Fe}+\text { dil. } 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{FeCl}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \\ & \mathrm{Mg}+\text { dil. } 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgCl}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \\ & \mathrm{Na}+\text { dil. } 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \\ & \mathrm{Cu}+\text { dil. } 2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \text { No reaction } \end{aligned}
