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)

What is formed when sulfur reacts with a metal?
When sulfur reacts with a metal, a metal sulfide salt is usually formed.
Why acid does not reacts with acids?
Acids don't react with acids because acids are proton donors. This means that an acid will donate a H+ ion to the substance with which it reacts. Since both acids will donate a H+ ion to each other, nothing happens, and there is no reaction.
What are the effects of dilute acids when it reacts with metal?
This depends on the metal in reaction.

Why copper reacts with nitric acid and not with HCl?
Copper is an inert metal and reacts with those acids only which have oxidizing ability as HNO3.
What is the metal that reacts explosively with acids?
All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.
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.
How do acids affect on metal?
He is dumb the acid reacts with the metal causing to do diffrent things. alliminion in Hydrolic acid fiizzes and then dissolves !
