any metal less active than hydrogen. There's five, so pick any two: Cu, Hg, Ag, Pt, Au

What reacts with acids to generate hydrogen gas while forming the metal salt of the acid?
When mixed with certain metals, a hydrogen gas is produced.
What is common to all acids?
All acids have similar chemical properties. 1) All acids generate hydrogen gas on reacting with metals. So, hydrogen seems to be common to all acids.
What kind of gas is being produced when the metals reacted with the acids?
Hydrogen gas is liberated when metals react with acid. The explanation lies in the fact that the the presence of hydrogen in a substance makes it acidic. so, every acid will contain Hydrogen. When metals reach with an acid, they form their respective salts according to the acid and always liberate hydrogen from that acid. If the acid is H2SO4, then the salt will sulfate of whichever metal reacts with the acid. If the acid is HCl, then the product would be metal chloride.
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.
Why metals release hydrogen gas?
Metals will release hydrogen gas when reacting with an acid (or in some cases, water). This is because acids contain hydrogen, and many metals are higher on the reactivity series than hydrogen, meaning they will replace it in a compound. For example, zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2 The zinc replaces hydrogen in the hydrochloric acid, forming zinc chloride and releasing elemental hydrogen in the process.

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 do you add to an acid to form hydrogen?
reactive metals
What happens if you reacted metals with acid?
Hydrogen will be liberated.

What is the gas made when metals react with dilute acid?
Hydrogen
Why do metals replace hydrogen from acid but non metals do not?
This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...
Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
