Q. When an acid is added to a metal, what kind of reaction is produced?

A. Some acids react with some metals and not all acids react with all metals. It all depends on what is reacting with what. However, assuming there is a reaction, the acid will dissolve the metal to produce the metal salt of that acid; at the same time it will produce hydrogen gas. ie 2H+ + M = 2M+ + H2

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 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.


What do acids react with what?

Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.


Who reacts with metal bases or acids?

Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.


When acids react with active metals they always produce what?

When acids react with active metals, they always produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
