Usually, an acid reacts with a metal to form a metal salt and hydrogen. However this depends if the metal is reactive or not. For example, magnesium, (Mg) is a violently reactive metal to hydrochloric acid; therefore, making magnesium chloride and hydrogen:
Magnesium+Hydrochloric acid=Magnesium chloride+Hydrogen
Also, if an experiment takes place, between a metal and a acid, bubbles will appear showing hydrogen. But remember, only with reactive metals!
However, if the metal is nonreactive it will not react with dilute acids such as;sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Take copper for example. Copper is nonreactive to dilute acids. However, a brief reaction still takes place, but not all the copper will react. When the reaction takes place a layer of either copper sulfate, copper chloride, or copper nitrate will form between the dilute acid and the copper. Not all the copper has reacted, (only a layer). This layer with the remaining copper is insoluble in water, and quickly forms a coating around the copper which prevents further attacks from acids. You can also know if metals are nonreactive or reactive, by looking at the reactivity series. They go in order starting with the most reactive.
Most reactive
1. Potassium
2. Sodium
3. Calcium
4.magnesium
5.aluminum
6.Zinc
7.Iron
Least reactive
8. Tin
9. Lead
10. Copper
11. Silver
12. Gold
13. Platinum
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.
There is a fault with the question. Acids react with metal -TRUE What metals react - all will with the right acid - some need extremely strong acids -gold for example needs aqua regia
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
All strong acids (fully free H+) and hydroxide (OH-) may react with metals, but this mainly depends on the kind of metal (especially with hydroxide there are only a few which can do).
Acids can react with metals.
Many metals react with strong acids to produce hydrogen gas.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
No, Acids react with metals to form salts.
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
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.
