Metals will react rapidly with most acids. If the acid is concentrated the reaction can be violent. To react one with the other simply drop acid onto the metal surface with an eye dropper or place the metal object into the acid (with care if the acid is strong).
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.
All alkali metals (group 1) and most earth-alkali metals (group 2)
Yes. When most metals react with dilute hydrochloric acid, metal chloride and hydrogen gas are the products. In the case of calcium, calcium chloride and hydrogen gas are produced.

The Alkali metals react violently with water becasue they violently loose an electron. They are all exothermic reactions, they get more intence as you go further down. Lithium being the most gentle and Francium being the most violent. Becasue francium has never been seen Cseasium is most reactive.

Certain elements react with acids. Almost every metal react with acids except some, including copper, silver and gold. Metalloids are also weakly react with acids.
No. It is very unstable. It will react violently with most substances.
No. Copper will not react with most acids. It will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide. Gold and platinum will not react with nitric acid but will react with aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids to produce nitrogen dioxide and some nitric oxide. Rhenium does not react with acid at all.
Francium would react most violently with hydrochloric acid but all of them would react violently. Cesium and Rubidium would certainly react explosively. Potassium would be very violent and catch fire. Sodium would be quite violent.
Mercury does not react with most acids, such as dilute sulfuric acid.
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)
