Metals often form hydrides and are found widely in chemistry. notable examples are LiAlH4 potent reducing agent in organic chemistry and NaH powerful base ~50 PKa.
in addition hydrogen can adsorb onto metal surfaces. this is important in the catalysis of hydrogenation reactions where Hydrogen gas is reacted with unsaturated compounds by using a platnium surface(many other conditions/metal catalysts are also used)

What gas is produced when metals react with an acid?
Hydrogen
The reaction of acids with metals produces the gas?
i would say NO, BUT i cannot explain why all i know is, I'm doing my chemistry homework AND there is a multiple choice question, and it says, what about acids is not true? A) acids are good conductors of electricity -TRUE B) When pH paper is dipped into an acid, the paper changes color - TRUE C) Aqueous solutions of acids have a sour taste - TRUE D) Acids react with bases to produce H2, hydrogen gas - I have not a clue!
Do pure metals fizz in water?
If you put Magnesium in boiling water, bubbles of Hydrogen are released. Magnesium burns in steam.More specifically:Mg(s)+H2O(g) --> Mg(OH)2(s)+H2 (g)
Why do non metals do not replace hydrogen from acids?
This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...
Which metal reacts steadily with acid to give an orange-brown solution?
sodium hydroxide gives off a slightly oddurless brown gas when reacted with metals. the brown gas is due to the rusty water like particles evaporate giving off the brown gas. Damien Naidu research laboratory. Sodium hydroxide is actually a base. The correct acid would be Sulfuric acid
What reacts with a metal what gas produced?
Many metals react with strong acids to produce hydrogen gas.
What gas is produced when magnesium reacts with zinc?
I am assuming you are mixing Magnesium and Zinc metals with an acid which would produce Hydrogen gas.
What reacts with sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas?
A metal (below hydrogen in E.C.S.) as Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid and produces hydrogen gas.
When a metal reacts with a dilute acid what does it produce?
hydrogen gas
How can an acid produce hydrogen gas?
When an acid reacts with a material, the hydrogen in the acid is released.
Who reacts with metal bases or acids?
Acids react with metals. Metals are themselves basic in nature. Metals displaces hydrogen from acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
Do bases react with metals to produce hydrogen gas?
no.
What metals react with dilute bases to produce hydrogen gas?
When a base reacts with a metal, then a metal salt and hydrogen gas are formed. Base + Metal ----> Salt + Hydrogen. For example :- 2NaOH (aq) + Zn (s) ------> Na2ZnO2 (ag) + H2 (g)
Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
What is the formula equation hydrogen gas reacts with fluorine gas to produce hydrogen fluoride gas?
H2 + F2 -> 2HFhydrogen + fluorine -> hydrogen fluorideOne molecule of hydrogen reacts with one molecule of fluorine to produce two molecules of HF.
What reacts with acids to generate hydrogen gas while forming the metal salt of the acid?
When mixed with certain metals, a hydrogen gas is produced.
What type of gas is released in reaction between metals and acids?
hydrogen gas is liberated when an acid reacts with a metal.The equation is as follows acid + metal=salt + h2
