How do you react acid with metal?

Answer 1

Metals will react rapidly with most acids. If the acid is concentrated the reaction can be violent. To react one with the other simply drop acid onto the metal surface with an eye dropper or place the metal object into the acid (with care if the acid is strong).

Answer 2

When an acid reacts with a metal, it typically produces a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal displaces the hydrogen ions in the acid, forming the salt while hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct. The reactivity of the metal and the type of acid will determine the speed and intensity of the reaction.
