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.

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.
What can react with Acids?
Many acids will react with bases and, depending on the acid, some metals.
What is vinegar metal or nonmetal?
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
What happens to a metal when exposed to an acid after three days?
The answer depends on what the metal is. Some metals react readily with acid, and some do not.
Name some acids that react with metals?
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.

What two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Two metals that will react with dilute hydrochloric acid are zinc and magnesium.
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.
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.
Does acid react with certain metals?
Yes
What are unreactive metals?
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?
A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
