Q. When an acid is added to a metal, what kind of reaction is produced?
A. Some acids react with some metals and not all acids react with all metals. It all depends on what is reacting with what. However, assuming there is a reaction, the acid will dissolve the metal to produce the metal salt of that acid; at the same time it will produce hydrogen gas. ie 2H+ + M = 2M+ + H2
The result of this reaction is the salt of the metal.
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.

Acids can react with metals.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
No, Acids react with metals to form salts.
They do react vigorously.
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.
Vigorously
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
Acids react with metals to evolve H2 gas
