Best Answer

M is going to represent a metal and HA is going to represent an strong acid where H is the Hydrogen ion and A is the other part of the acid such as Cl in Hydrochloric acid (HCl).

The balanced chemical equation is: 2M + 2HA = 2MA + H2

The Hydrogen of the strong acid pops off and become Hydrogen gas, which explains the bubbling that you see when you put a metal in acid, and the metal bonds with the anion of the acid (the other part such as Cl).
