All metals will react with acids to form a salt and hydrogen gas (H2). This type of reactino is a redox reaction. The metal initially in the elemental (0 state) loses electrons and is oxidated to the ionic form (charged). Since we have oxidized the metal, something must also be reduced in order to maintain the balance of electrons. The hydrogen, initially in its ionic (+1) form, gains electrons and is reduced to elemental form (0) They react in the follwing manner: M + HA --> MA + H2 (g) The reaction is not balanced because the oxidation state (charge/combining capacity) is dependent upon which metal it is. A salt (generally meaning an ionic compound consisting of a positive ion attracted to a negative ion) is always the product of the above reaction. Posted by Ms Ford, MBSS Science 10 teacher.

When metals react with acid it form?
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 A salt ( definitely a metallic salt if the metal is transitional ) and hydrogen gas.
What happens when non metals react with metals?
they form a salt
What is the effect of acids on metals?
The acid may react which the metal to form a salt and release hydrogen gas.
What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?
acid+ base= salt + water
Does titanium react with hydrocloric acid?
No, not at room temperature. It does react with hot hydrochloric acid to form a complex ion with the titanium in the +3 oxidation state but this is not the standard Metal + Acid -> Salt + Hydrogen reaction of more reactive metals
Does hydrogen gas liberate when metals react with carbonic acid?
By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.
An acid and a base react to form a?
salt and water
Do all metals react with acid then disappear?
No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.
What happens when matals react with acid?
when metals react with acid hydrogen gas is liberated . and salt is formed eg; 2Na+2Hcl ------ 2Nacl+H2
Do all bases react with acid to form salt?
Yes
What happens when an acid and a base react?
they form a neutralized substance.They form the salt.
How do acids react with dilute acid?
metals reacts with dil.acid to form metal salt and hydrogen gas releases . eg - copper + dil. sulphuric acid = copper sulphate + hydrogen gas
