What substances are formed when acids react?

That depends on what they react with. If an acid reacts with a metal the products are usually hydrogen gas and a salt. If one reacts with a base the products are usually water (or a weak acid) and a salt. If an acid reacts with a carbonate the products are carbon dioxide, water, and a salt.


what are the three main bases which react with acid?

Metal carbonate Metal oxide Metal hydroxide


What chemicals are produced when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate or hydroxide?

Generally, when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate, the products, the reaction products are: water, carbon dioxide, and a salt specific to the metal and the acid, e.g: hydrochloric acid + sodium carbonate → sodium chloride + carbon dioxide + water. 2HCl + Na2CO3 → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O Generally, when an acid reacts with a metal hydroxide, the products, the reaction products are: water, and a salt specific to the metal and the hydroxide, e.g: Cupric hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → Cupric chloride + water Cu(OH)2 + 2HCl → CuCl2 + 2H2O


How does metal oxide react with acid?

A reaction between an acid and a metal oxide to form a salt and water as the only products.


What two substances would react with an acid to produce carbon dioxide gas?

Vinegar is a solution of a carboxylic acid (acetic acid) which means that most metal compounds (particulaly alkaline metal compounds found in group 1 in the periodic table) will react with it to produce salts, carbon dioxide and water. Sodium Carbonate is a common example of a alkaline metal compound that reacts readily with vinegar.


When metals react with acids what gas is given off?

Hydrogen gas is given off when metal reacts with acid. e.g. Zn + 2HCl ------> ZnCl2 + H2

When metals metal carbonates and metal oxides react with acid how is it possible to know what you will get?

Because when you use a certain metal say magnesium oxide with hydrochloric acid you will get: magnesium chloride magnesium carbonate + hydrochloric acid = salt + water + carbon dioxide.
