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.
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.
Can Acetic acid remove rust on iron?
Acetic acid breaks down the rusticles, or salt deposits, in the rusting iron, there fore causing it to turna n orangy color and flake. The salt particles are there to preserve the iron, and when the acid breaks it down, there is nothing ot protect that weak outer layer of coretic iron Acetic acid breaks down the rusticles, or salt deposits, in the rusting iron, there fore causing it to turna n orangy color and flake.

Why do metals dissolve when you dip them in acid?
Because they are able to dissolve and are more reactive than hydrogen
What kind of gas is being produced when the metals reacted with the acids?
Hydrogen gas is liberated when metals react with acid. The explanation lies in the fact that the the presence of hydrogen in a substance makes it acidic. so, every acid will contain Hydrogen. When metals reach with an acid, they form their respective salts according to the acid and always liberate hydrogen from that acid. If the acid is H2SO4, then the salt will sulfate of whichever metal reacts with the acid. If the acid is HCl, then the product would be metal chloride.
How does salt affect the rusting away of metals?
Bob
Effects of salt on the rate of rusting?
The rate of rusting increases with the presence of salt.
Does salt have catalyst?
Sodium chloride hasn't a catalyst.
Is salt a good catalyst?
yes, it is. ------------------- Sodium chloride is not a catalyst.
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.
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 ionic compound forms from an acid-base neutralization?
a Salt usually containing a dissolved catalyst metal paired with a gas caused by the reaction.
How is HCl different from NaCl?
HCl is an strong acid, gas, reacts with metals NaCl is a neutral salt, crystalline solid, stable to most metals,

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 metals reacts with acid to form a salt and hydrogen?
Yes. Example: 2 Na + 2 HCl ---> 2 NaCl + H2 Sodium (Na) is a metal.HCl is hydrochloric acid. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a salt.
