All metals do not react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.

Only those metals which lie above hydrogen react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.

Whereas copper, silver, gold, and platinum do not react with acids to produce hydrogen.

Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid. Generally, metals that are more reactive than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas. Metals which are less reactive than hydrogen, such as copper, silver, and gold, do not react with hydrochloric acid.


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

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric 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.


Do acids and metals react to make oxygen?

Acids can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, not oxygen. When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen gas from the acid.


What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?

Metals such as gold, platinum, and silver do not react with hydrochloric acid due to their inert nature. They form a protective oxide layer on their surface that prevents them from reacting with acids.

Does hydrogen gas liberate when metals react with carbonic acid?

By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.


What two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Lots of metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid; anything above hydrogen in the activity series should do so.

What are compounds that taste sour and react with metal?

Compounds that taste sour and react with metals are likely acids. For example, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid are all sour-tasting compounds that can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas.


Why does acid react with metal?

Because metals are often very reactive, as are acid.
