Does acid react with metals

Answer 1

All metals do not react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.

Only those metals which lie above hydrogen react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.

Whereas copper, silver, gold, and platinum do not react with acids to produce hydrogen.

Answer 2

No the dont some metals are resistant to acids while others are not.

Also,some metals react easier than others. For example, magnesium reacts easier and better than zinc, iron or copper in hydrochloric acid solution.

Answer 3

Most metals react with acids to produce a corresponding salt and hydrogen gas.

Shown here is the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen.

Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

Nitric acid reacts with some less reactive metals, Here copper reacts with nitric acid to produce copper II nitrate, water, and nitrogen dioxide.

Cu + 4 HNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O

Answer 4

No, there are many metals which do not react with acid. Metals from copper downwards in the reactivity series do not react with acids (though you can get a different sort of reaction with concentrated oxidising acids). In addition, reactions which produce an insoluble salt, such as lead and dilute sulfuric acid, react only sluggishly. Some metals have a coherent oxide coating which prevents reaction with dilute acids, e.g. aluminium, and others quickly develop such a coating in concentrated nitric acid.

Answer 5

Yes. They Turn Metals Such As Magnesium A Different Colour, Therefore Prooving They React To Metals.

Answer 6

Yes, almost all metals do so

but some less reactive metals are not able to displace hydrogen from acids like

copper, Mercury, silver, gold and platinum

Answer 7

Not all metals react with an acid.

Answer 8

no
