  • Acids will react with carbonates to produce a gas (CO2), alkalis won't.
  • Acids will react with magnesium or any active metal but Mg is fast, alkalis won't. An acid + active metal produces hydrogen gas.
  • Acids will clean a coin, alkalis won't.
  • Alkalis feel slimy but acids don't. Only try this if the alkali and acid are diluted with water, and you wash your hands well afterwards.
  • In summary:

    Acid + Carbonate --> Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water

    Acid + Active Metal --> Salt + Hydrogen
