Hydrogen gas is always produced when acids react with metals because the acids contain hydrogen atoms that combine together and are released as hydrogen gas when a salt is made between the metal and the rest of the acid.

Examples:

Zn(s)+2HCl->H2(g)+ZnCl2

H2SO4+Mg(s)->H2(g)+MgSO4

When acids and bases react they form compounds called salt which are made of metals and nonmetals true or false?

Yes, it is correct.


What will happen when metals are made to react with acids?

When metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to form the salt, releasing bubbles of hydrogen gas in the process. This reaction can produce heat and effervescence.


What is the gas made when metals react with dilute acid?

Hydrogen


What happens when acids and metal oxides react?

Water and salt is made.


Is an metal acidic or alkaline?

Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.


What happens when acids react with compounds made of carbonets?

the acid eats away at carbonates


What compounds are made when metals react with oxygen?

How does Obsidian react to an acid?

Obsidian does not react with acid. Igneous rocks in general rarely react with acid.


What is made when acids react with alkalis?

When acids react with alkalis, they undergo a neutralization reaction to form salt and water. This process involves the transfer of protons from the acid to the alkali, resulting in the formation of a salt and water as the products.


What is made when acids and bases are mixed together?

An acid and a base will react to produce a salt and (usually) water.


Why are acids not stored in metal containers?

Many acids react with most metals, often producing soluble substances. Acid + metal --> salt + water. This 'eats' away at the container and causes it to leak. Glass (almost always) and polythene are unaffected by acids. However, before the advent of polythene, concentrated sulfuric acid was stored in lead vessels.


When acids and bases react do they form compounds called salts which are made of a metal and a nonmetal?

Yes, this is true; the reaction is called neutralization.
