Does acid make hydrogen when they react with some metals?

Yes, when certain acids react with metals, they can produce hydrogen gas as a byproduct. This is a common reaction involving metals that are more reactive than hydrogen, such as zinc or magnesium, with acids like hydrochloric acid. The metal displaces hydrogen ions from the acid, releasing hydrogen gas.


Does acid react with metal to make hydrogen gas?

Yes, acids can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. The acid will dissolve the metal, releasing hydrogen gas in the process. This type of reaction is often used in laboratory settings or for demonstrations.


Do acids and metals react to make oxygen?

NO!!! Here are the general acid reaction. Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB In none of then is oxygen produced. NNB The salt is a chemical salt of the form (MA) of which table salt is one. 'M' being the metal cation and 'A' acid anion.


Do some metals react with acid to make oxygen?

yes ,if you add dilute sulphuric acid with a magnesium ribbon in a boiling test tube you will see lots of bubbles appear and if you put your thumb over the opening of the test tube and put a burning split over it then remove thumb you will hear a squeaky pop!


Five properties of acids?

* Strong or concentrated acids often produce a stinging feeling on mucous membranes * React to indicators as follows: turn blue litmus and methyl orange red, do not change the color of phenolphthalein * Will react with metals to produce a metal salt and hydrogen * Will react with metal carbonates to produce water, CO2 and a salt * Will react with a base to produce a salt and water * Will react with a metal oxide to produce water and a salt * Will conduct electricity, depending on the degree of dissociation * Will produce solvonium ions, such as hydronium (H3O+) ions in water * Will denature proteins * Generally sour tasted Strong acids and many concentrated acids are dangerous, causing severe burns for even minor contact. Acids are corrosive. Generally, acid burns are treated by rinsing the affected area abundantly with running water (15 minutes) and followed up with immediate medical attention. In the case of highly concentrated acids, the acid should first be wiped off as much as possible, otherwise the exothermic mixing of the acid and the water could cause severe thermal burns. Acids may also be dangerous for reasons not related to their acidity, see an appropriate MSDS for more detailed information.

Why don't we make hydrogen when reacting an acid with copper?

Copper is unreactive and will not react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas. However it may react if concentrated and oxidising acids are used.


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.

Yes, indeed it is.

Will acid and metal make a chemical reaction?

Yes, many metals can react with acids.


What are the names of 2 gases which are released from acid reactions?

Metals and acids make Hydrogen and water and a salt. Otherwise, i think it's hydrogen and CO2


Why acids stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?

Because most acids react with most metals. Which is why sometimes, rust and other problems occur when your using metal pipes. Also, a base (the opposite of acids) is used to unclog pipes and drains instead of acids because of its corrosive effect on metals.
