The correct answer is 1. Bubbles given off slowly.

When silver is added to an acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a chemical reaction takes place. During this reaction, silver reacts with the acid to produce silver ions (Ag+) and hydrogen gas (H2). The hydrogen gas is released as bubbles, which can be observed as effervescence or bubbling.

However, it is important to note that the rate at which the bubbles are given off may vary depending on factors such as the concentration of the acid and the surface area of the silver. In most cases, the bubbles are produced slowly rather than quickly.
