Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?

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.


Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?

No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric acid.


What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?

Metals such as gold, platinum, and silver do not react with hydrochloric acid due to their inert nature. They form a protective oxide layer on their surface that prevents them from reacting with acids.


What metals react with cold hydrochloric acid?

zinc is famous for reacting with hydrochloric acid but so will magnesium, aluminum, iron and all the alkali, alkaline earths and also group III metals.


Do acids react with metals that are more or less active than hydrogen to form a compound of the metal and hydrogen gas?

No. Some of the less reactive metals, such as platinum, gold, silver, copper, and rhenium will not undergo this reaction. Copper and silver will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxic brown gas. Gold and platinum will react with aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, in a similar manner. Rhenium will not react with any acid.

Why do some metals not react with acid?

Some metals do not react with acids because they are less reactive than hydrogen in the reactivity series. These metals are unable to displace hydrogen from the acid because they are more stable in their elemental form. Examples of such metals include gold, silver, and platinum.


Do all metals react with acid then disappear?

No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.


Do metals react with hydrochloric acid?

Some metals do react with hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas. Reactivity varies depending on the metal. Generally, metals like iron, zinc, and aluminum will react with hydrochloric acid.


Is reactive with metals an acid or a base?

Acid. Its more corrosive. Base is in our soaps etc.


What elements react with sulfuric acid?

Some elements that react with sulfuric acid include metals like zinc, iron, and magnesium, forming metal sulfates and hydrogen gas. Non-metals like carbon and sulfur can also react with sulfuric acid to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, respectively.


What metal reacts to dilute acid?

Most metals react with dilute acids to form metal salts and hydrogen gas. For example, metals like magnesium, zinc, and iron will react with acids such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen gas.
