Usually, an acid reacts with a metal to form a metal salt and hydrogen. However this depends if the metal is reactive or not. For example, magnesium, (Mg) is a violently reactive metal to hydrochloric acid; therefore, making magnesium chloride and hydrogen:
Magnesium+Hydrochloric acid=Magnesium chloride+Hydrogen
Also, if an experiment takes place, between a metal and a acid, bubbles will appear showing hydrogen. But remember, only with reactive metals!
However, if the metal is nonreactive it will not react with dilute acids such as;sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Take copper for example. Copper is nonreactive to dilute acids. However, a brief reaction still takes place, but not all the copper will react. When the reaction takes place a layer of either copper sulfate, copper chloride, or copper nitrate will form between the dilute acid and the copper. Not all the copper has reacted, (only a layer). This layer with the remaining copper is insoluble in water, and quickly forms a coating around the copper which prevents further attacks from acids. You can also know if metals are nonreactive or reactive, by looking at the reactivity series. They go in order starting with the most reactive.
Most reactive
1. Potassium
2. Sodium
3. Calcium
4.magnesium
5.aluminum
6.Zinc
7.Iron
Least reactive
8. Tin
9. Lead
10. Copper
11. Silver
12. Gold
13. Platinum
What else can I help you with?
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 react with acids not water?
Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.
Do weak acids react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids?
No, weak acids do not react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids. Strong acids typically react more vigorously and rapidly with metals due to their ability to fully dissociate in solution and release more hydrogen ions, which drive the metal to oxidize. Weak acids, on the other hand, partially dissociate and release fewer hydrogen ions, resulting in a slower reaction rate with metals such as magnesium.
What reacts quickly with water and acids?
Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.
What do metals react with acids to produce?
Metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
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.
Examples of acids and bases which react with metals?
All strong acids (fully free H+) and hydroxide (OH-) may react with metals, but this mainly depends on the kind of metal (especially with hydroxide there are only a few which can do).
What makes acids wear away metals?
Acids can react with metals.
What metals react with acids not water?
Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.
What metals react with acids true or false?
There is a fault with the question. Acids react with metal -TRUE What metals react - all will with the right acid - some need extremely strong acids -gold for example needs aqua regia
Do weak acids react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids?
No, weak acids do not react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids. Strong acids typically react more vigorously and rapidly with metals due to their ability to fully dissociate in solution and release more hydrogen ions, which drive the metal to oxidize. Weak acids, on the other hand, partially dissociate and release fewer hydrogen ions, resulting in a slower reaction rate with metals such as magnesium.
What reacts with a metal what gas produced?
Many metals react with strong acids to produce hydrogen gas.
What reacts quickly with water and acids?
Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.
Do bases react vigorously with many metals?
No, Acids react with metals to form salts.
What do metals react with acids to produce?
Metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
Do acids react vigorously with many metals?
They do react vigorously.
What can react with Acids?
Bases can react with acids to form salts and water. Metals can also react with acids to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. Additionally, carbonates and bicarbonates can react with acids to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.
