What are compounds that taste sour and react with metal?

Compounds that taste sour and react with metals are likely acids. For example, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid are all sour-tasting compounds that can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas.


Name some acids that react with metals?

Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.


Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid. Generally, metals that are more reactive than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas. Metals which are less reactive than hydrogen, such as copper, silver, and gold, do not react with hydrochloric acid.


Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric acid.


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 two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Lots of metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid; anything above hydrogen in the activity series should do so.


Does acid make hydrogen when they react with some metals?

Yes, when certain acids react with metals, they can produce hydrogen gas as a byproduct. This is a common reaction involving metals that are more reactive than hydrogen, such as zinc or magnesium, with acids like hydrochloric acid. The metal displaces hydrogen ions from the acid, releasing hydrogen gas.


Do acids make hydrogen when they react with some metals?

Yes, acids can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. The acid will donate protons to the metal, causing it to lose electrons and form metal ions. The liberated electrons then reduce hydrogen ions in the acid to produce hydrogen gas.


What metal reacts with acids?

Most metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas. Common examples include zinc, iron, magnesium, and aluminum. The reactivity of the metal with the acid depends on its position in the reactivity series.


What are unreactive metals?

metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals


What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?

A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.


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.
