How do metals of medium reactivity react well with?

Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.


What makes acids wear away metals?

Acids can react with metals.


Do acids and metals react to make oxygen?

Acids can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, not oxygen. When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen gas from the acid.


Do non metals liberate hydrogen gas from dilute. acids?

No. Metals liberate hydrogen gas from acids.


Do acids corrode some metals?

Yes it does. but not all metals.


What will happen if metals are exposed to water and air?

Metals can undergo corrosion when exposed to water and air. This can result in the formation of oxides or hydroxides on the metal surface, leading to deterioration or weakening of the metal over time. Regular maintenance or applying protective coatings can help prevent corrosion.


Are acids corrosive to metals?

Yes, acids are corrosive to metals because they can react with the metal surface, causing it to deteriorate or dissolve.


What do metals react with acids to produce?

Metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.


What is the metal that reacts explosively with acids?

All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.


What metals react with acids not water?

Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.


How Most acids are sour and corrode metals.?

Most acids are sour and corrode metals.


How do metal respond to acids?

Many metals reacts with acids forming salts.
