Do metals in group 1 react more with water than in acid?

yes


What metal reacts with acids?

Lots of metals react with acids. It depends on exactly what acid, and the concentration of that acid. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid (aqua regia, royal water) will react with gold and other precious metals. The alkali metals will react readily with acid, as will most metals. You have to know that any metal with incomplete orbital has the ability to react with any proton donating species. (proton donating species are acids according to Bronston-Lowry theory)


Does hydrogen gas liberate when metals react with carbonic acid?

By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.

What type of acid do you need to melt metal?

Acids don't actually melt metal, they oxidize or corrode them. Usually producing the corresponding metal salt and hydrogen gas. Most strong acids (hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, perchloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) will oxidize metals in this manner. Some weak acids such as hydrofluoric acid can oxidize metals. Some metals, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals will react with virtually any acid and even water. Nitric acid can oxidize copper, which normally doesn't react with acid. Aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid will oxidize gold and platinum, which are usually considered immune to corrosion.

What Gas produced when metals react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Hydrogen gas. This can be tested via the 'pop' test.


Why don't carbonic acids react with metals?

Carbonic acid does react with metals as similar to the other acids. But in nature, carbonic acid molecule is unstable. It has an equilibrium where carbonic acid dissociates into a water molecule and a carbon dioxide molecule.


What is the gas produced wen metals react with water or an acid?

Hydrogen. You can test it by putting a burning splint over the test tube, it should pop. I'm not sure if this is true most of the time, but it is true for many metals.

Do hydrochloric acid react with calcium?

Yes. When most metals react with dilute hydrochloric acid, metal chloride and hydrogen gas are the products. In the case of calcium, calcium chloride and hydrogen gas are produced.
