Acid. Its more corrosive. Base is in our soaps etc.
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.
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
Metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium are highly reactive with acids and can undergo vigorous reactions, releasing hydrogen gas. These reactions can be dangerous and should be conducted with caution.
Non-metals such as carbon and some plastics do not dissolve in sulfuric acid because they are not reactive with the acid. Additionally, certain noble metals like gold and platinum are resistant to sulfuric acid and do not dissolve in it.
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrogen gas is produced because zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. The zinc displaces hydrogen from the acid, resulting in the formation of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. This displacement reaction is a common reaction in which more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
reactive metals
Because metals are often very reactive, as are acid.
Salicylic acid is considered reactive because it can react with bases, metals, and oxidizing agents to form new compounds.
Hydrogen and chlorine.
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.
Dilute acid should not be added to reactive metals because the result is dangerous. This violent reaction can easily cause damage to property or cause harm to people.
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
The main effect would be corrosion, which weakens more reactive metals such as iron much faster than less reactive metals such as gold.
Metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium are highly reactive with acids and can undergo vigorous reactions, releasing hydrogen gas. These reactions can be dangerous and should be conducted with caution.
They are extremely reactive with acid -explosively in some cases. They are also very reactive with water and form alkaline solutions and also very reactive with halogens. Apart from that they have the usual properties of metals such as ductility and lustre etc.
Non-metals such as carbon and some plastics do not dissolve in sulfuric acid because they are not reactive with the acid. Additionally, certain noble metals like gold and platinum are resistant to sulfuric acid and do not dissolve in it.
Most reactive metals are alkali metals, most reactive nonmetalas are halogens.Least reactive metals are platinum metals; least reactive nonmetals are noble gases.
