Metals whose surfaces are "passivated" by for example the formation of an insoluble oxide do not react with acid. An example is aluminium which is resistant to dilute acid.

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 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.


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.


What is vinegar metal or nonmetal?

Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.

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 two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Lots of metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid; anything above hydrogen in the activity series should do so.

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.

Does Palladium react with Sulphuric acid?

Yes, palladium does react with sulfuric acid, forming palladium sulfate. However, the reaction is not as vigorous compared to some other metals.
