Best Answer

Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2

A salt ( definitely a metallic salt if the metal is transitional ) and hydrogen gas.

Do acids react with metals that are more or less active than hydrogen to form a compound of the metal and hydrogen gas?

No. Some of the less reactive metals, such as platinum, gold, silver, copper, and rhenium will not undergo this reaction. Copper and silver will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxic brown gas. Gold and platinum will react with aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, in a similar manner. Rhenium will not react with any acid.


Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?

no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids


Which substance reacts with acid to form hydrogen gas?

Many metals react with an acid to form hydrogen. A common chemistry lab activity is to react zinc metal with hydrochloric acid to create hydrogen gas and aqueous zinc chloride.


Do all metals react with acid then disappear?

No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.


Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?

No, inert metals as Gold, Platinum and Palladium do not react with hydrochloric acid.

Does lead have acid and can it melt metal?

Lead is a metal. Metals react with acids to form salts. Metals can be used to make alkalies, but not acids.

What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?

Gold and platinum. 'Aqua regia' is a mixture of trhe acids, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. This mixture will react with these metals.


Why do some metals not react with acid?

Metals whose surfaces are "passivated" by for example the formation of an insoluble oxide do not react with acid. An example is aluminium which is resistant to dilute acid.


Does acid react with certain metals?

Yes
