Does Nickel React with Hcl?

Nickel reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce nickel(II) chloride and hydrogen according to the equation: Ni + 2HCl  NiCl2 + H2.

Does nickel dissolve in HCl?

In its metallic form nickel is chemically unreactive. It is insoluble in cold and hot water and ammonia and is unaffected by concentrated nitric acid and alkalis. It is however soluble in dilute nitric acid and sparingly soluble in dilute hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.

These metals — beryllium, magnesium, calcium and strontium — react with hydrochloric acid to form a chloride and free hydrogen.
