Most metals react with acids to produce a corresponding salt and hydrogen gas.
Shown here is the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen.
Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
Nitric acid reacts with some less reactive metals, Here copper reacts with nitric acid to produce copper II nitrate, water, and nitrogen dioxide.
Cu + 4 HNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O
Many metals react with acid to liberate hydrogen, and form metal ions. The metal is oxidised.
metals do not react with dillute acids to displace hydrogen.
Acid + Reactive Metal --> Salt + Hydrogen Gas
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
Acids can react with metals.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
No, Acids react with metals to form salts.
They do react vigorously.
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.
Vigorously
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
Acids react with metals to evolve H2 gas
