The metal and the acid are the reactants.
A metal salt and usually hydrogen gas are the products.
depending on the kind of acid and the metal, corrosion may occur
When metals are put in hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced as the metal reacts with the acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas as a byproduct.
you put the hydrochloric acid in a test tube then you put the magnesium metal in the test tube with the hydrochloric acid in it then you put a cork on the top ofthe test tube and watch it fizz.
Nothing, gold doesn't react with sulphuric acid
Yes, acid rain is acid pollution. The exhaust from manufacturing put chemicals into the air that make it acidic. That acidity is carried by the air all over the globe and comes down when it rains.
When you put a metal inside sulphuric acid, the metal quickly displaces the hydrogen and forms respective metal sulphate and hydrogen gas is liberated. But this happens in the case of reactive metals only. In case of Mercury, Copper, Silver, Gold And Platinum no reaction occurs.
because it may have an adverse reation to the metal, for example and acid would react with the metal and disolve it!
The substances on the left side of a chemical equation are the reactants. The right hand side substances are the products.i.e. A + B -------> C + D(reactants) (products)
nothing, gold does not react at all.
Because the drum could rust through and release the chemicals, or be contacted by electricity and cause a fire...if you need to store toxic chemicals in a metal drum, you put a drum liner in first, and pour the chemicals into the liner. A drum liner is a very thick plastic bag.
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).
When you put salt in water, it is a physical change/reaction. The reactants are the salt and water, and the product is saltwater.
