Best answer

(a) Silver metal does not react with dilute HCl 

(b) The temperature of the reaction mixture rises when aluminium is added because it is an exothermic reaction. 

(c) Reaction of sodium metal is found to be highly explosive because it is an exothermic reaction 

(d) When lead is treated with hydrochloric acid, bubbles of hydrogen gas are evolved 

Pb + 2HCl → PbCl2 + H2
