Detailed Solution

A student added dilute HCl to a test tube containing zinc granules and made the zinc surface become dull and black , a gas which evolved which burnt with a pop sound and also the solution remained colourless.
Zn+2HCl → ZnCl2 + H. Zinc loses its shine as a result of the acid's reaction with it.
The reaction results in the evolution of H2. With the aid of a burning matchstick, we can detect the gas. Its existence is signalled by a pop sound. Since the reaction produces colourless zinc chloride, the solution does not change colour. As a result, each sentence is true. The right selection is option 4.
