Best Answer

Hydrogen gas is liberated when metals react with acid.

The explanation lies in the fact that the the presence of hydrogen in a substance makes it acidic. so, every acid will contain Hydrogen. When metals reach with an acid, they form their respective salts according to the acid and always liberate hydrogen from that acid. If the acid is H2SO4, then the salt will sulfate of whichever metal reacts with the acid. If the acid is HCl, then the product would be metal chloride.

Why did man kind find gold be for magnesium?

Gold is much lower down in the reactivity series for metals, whereas magnesium is higher up and hence more reactive. Being more reactive, the chances are that the magnesium will have reacted and formed a compound such as magnesium oxide.

Where and how was hydrogen discovered?

Scientists had been producing hydrogen for years before it was recognized as an element. Written records indicate that Robert Boyle produced hydrogen gas as early as 1671 while experimenting with iron and acids. Hydrogen was first recognized as a distinct element by Henry Cavendish in 1766. The answers to when and who are probably lost in the mists of time anyway, but hydrogen was most likely discovered when early chemists/alchemists noted the gas being formed when metals were treated with acids. They'd have found that it burned in air to form water.


What breaks down animal fat in the human?

Fats are first emulsified by bile from the liver. They are then broken down chemically by lipases which catalyse their conversion to fatty acids and glycerol. The bonds being broken are the same whether the fat originated in a plant or an animal, it is only the fatty acids produced which differ.
