Yes. It can do that and still be an acid. HCl is a gas, for example. "Gas" just describes the energy of molecules compared to the "latent heat of vaporization". You can't have an acid that is in a plasma state... it dissociates into consitituent nucleii at that point.

∙ 12y agoAn acid will not produce hydrogen gas by itself, but acids can produce hydrogen when they react with other things. For example, if hydrochloric acid is put in contact with zinc, the chlorine in the acid bonds with the zinc, and the hydrogen is released as a gas.

What two reactants of the combustion of gasoline?
1. React any metal except copper, mercury, gold, silver and platinum with any acid, H2 will be liberated. 2. Reaction of any hydrocarbon with steam will also liberate Hydrogen gas.
What gas is produced when magnesium reacts with zinc?
I am assuming you are mixing Magnesium and Zinc metals with an acid which would produce Hydrogen gas.
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.
What happens when you add acid to magnesium?
The magnesium will react with the acid to produce hydrogen gas and a magnesium salt.
Where does the gas come from when metal reacts with acid?
No. Copper will not react with most acids. It will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide. Gold and platinum will not react with nitric acid but will react with aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids to produce nitrogen dioxide and some nitric oxide. Rhenium does not react with acid at all.
How can an acid produce hydrogen gas?
When an acid reacts with a material, the hydrogen in the acid is released.
What gas does acid produce when mixed with calcium?
Hydrogen gas (H2)
What reacts with sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas?
A metal (below hydrogen in E.C.S.) as Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid and produces hydrogen gas.
What gas does sulfuric acid and magnesium produce?
Sulfuric acid will react with magnesium and most other metals to produce hydrogen gas.
What does hydrochloric acid and calcium produce?
Those compounds produce hydrogen (gas)
How can you make hydrogen from other chemicals?
You can produce hydrogen gas by mixing sulfuric acid and magnesium to form hydrogen gas.
Is carbon dioxide react with acid to produce hydrogen gas?
No.
When a metal reacts with a dilute acid what does it produce?
hydrogen gas
Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
What acid does sodium combine with to make hydrogen gas?
Sodium will react with virtually any acid to produce hydrogen gas. However the heat produced by such a reaction usually ignites the hydrogen.
What gas is produced when hysrochloric acid and calcuim are mixed?
Those compounds, hydrochloric acid and calcium, produce hydrogen (gas)
What gas is produced when mixing clacium and hydrochloric acid?
Those compounds, calcium and hydrochloric acid, produce hydrogen (gas)
