What do acids react with what?

Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.


What metal reacts with acids?

Lots of metals react with acids. It depends on exactly what acid, and the concentration of that acid. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid (aqua regia, royal water) will react with gold and other precious metals. The alkali metals will react readily with acid, as will most metals. You have to know that any metal with incomplete orbital has the ability to react with any proton donating species. (proton donating species are acids according to Bronston-Lowry theory)


What metals react with acids true or false?

There is a fault with the question. Acids react with metal -TRUE What metals react - all will with the right acid - some need extremely strong acids -gold for example needs aqua regia


How do acids react with other elements?

Certain elements react with acids. Almost every metal react with acids except some, including copper, silver and gold. Metalloids are also weakly react with acids.


What is the affect of acid on different types of metals?

It really depends on the type of acid and the metal. Metals like gold and platinum (and others metals which are called the noble metals) are impervious to acids except for aqua regia which is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Some metals like copper won't react with acids unless there is also an oxidizer present like hydrogen peroxide and then some metals like zinc will react with most acids readily.
