What gas is produced when acid corrodes metal?

Hydrogen gas is typically produced when an acid corrodes metal. This reaction occurs when the acid reacts with the metal to form a metal salt and hydrogen gas as a byproduct.


How does cast iron react to salt water?

It corrodes badly.


What you get when acid meets metal?

Remember the general acid reactions. Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + water Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.


What evaporates the slowest salt water distilled water pool water or faucet water?

Distilled water evaporates the slowest among the three options, followed by pool water, and then salt water. This is because distilled water contains no impurities that could hinder evaporation, while pool water and salt water contain dissolved minerals and salts that can slow down the evaporation process.


Why do sailor pants button on instead of zip?

Because salt water corrodes the zipper.


Which freeze the slowest a sea water or a fresh water?

salt water freezes slowest this is due to one of the coligative property of solution i.e. dipression in freezing point.


how quickly does an iron nail rust in saltwater?

The combination of moisture, oxygen and salt, especially sodium chloride, damages metal worse than rust does. This combination corrodes, or eats away at, the metal, weakening it and causing it to fall apart. Saltwater corrodes metal five times faster than fresh water does and the salty, humid ocean air causes metal to corrode 10 times faster than air with normal humidity. Bacteria in ocean water also consumes iron and their excretions turn to rust.


Word equations for metal reactions?

metal + acid -> salt + water metal + oxygen -> metal oxide metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen Metal + Steam -> Metal Oxide + Hydrogen Metal + Acid -> Metal salt + Hydrogen


What is the word equation between acid and metal hydroxide?

acid+ metal oxide --> salt + water


A neutralization reaction between an acid and a metal hydroxide produces?

Water and a corresponding metal Salt


Acid plus metal carbonate equals?

Acid plus metal carbonate typically results in the production of salt, carbon dioxide gas, and water. The chemical reaction between the acid and metal carbonate involves the acid reacting with the metal component of the carbonate to form a salt, while carbon dioxide gas is released as a byproduct.


What Metal hydroxide plus acid?

When a metal hydroxide reacts with an acid, it forms water and a salt. The metal from the hydroxide forms the cation of the salt, while the anion from the acid forms the anion of the salt. This reaction is known as neutralization.
