There is a common reaction that can occur between acids and metals.
Here it is shows as zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid: Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
The metal is oxidized by the acid, resulting in the formation of a metal salt and hydrogen gas.
Most plastics consist of organic polymers which are often less easily oxidized.

What metal would be the best for lining a tank used to store hydrochloric acid?
You will probably want a plastic tank of some kind. If you have to use metal, you might be able to line it with wax or some kind of plastic liner.
What is something that reacts with vinegar to produce a new substance called?
There is no specific name for 'something which reacts with vinegar'. Vinegar is ethanoic acid and reacts with various substance. Some examples are alkalis like sodium hydroxide, metal carbonates and alcohols such as ethanol.
How do you prove the gas produced when an acid reacts with a metal is hydrogen?
It has been proved by an experiment that when we pour acid on the metal then the gas will be released then light up a matchstick and up on it ,then we observe some lightening stars coming out from the matchstick ,if it happens like this is the hydrogen.
Does Acetic acid dissolve copper?
because they needed th e acid to reflect its natural meaning on the copper use of it.
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.
If Zirconium Reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or base?
Its a metal oxide so it'll be a base. Acids are mainly made with a non-metal oxide, though some metal (amphoteric) oxidesare also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides

What is a compound tastes sour and reacts with some metals?
Acid
When copper reacts with oxygen is the acid formed a acid or a base?
Cuprous and cupric oxide are base forming oxides, only nonmetals can have acidic oxides, though some other metal (amphoteric) oxides are also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides.
In some rocks-reacts with carbonic acid?
If you are looking for the answer you are a poopy looser
What reacts with carbonic acid in some rocks beginning with g?
geological
Name the gas evolved when a dilute acid reacts with a metal?
What Gas Is Produce When A Dilute Acid Reacts With The Carbonate For A Metal? It is carbon dioxide, CO2, evolving from acid reaction with Metal carbonate: MeCO3(s, aq) + H3O+aq --> Me2+aq + CO2,gas + H2OlHow do you test for this gas?Let the gas bubble through saturated calcium hydroxide solution, then a precipitate of CaCO3 calcium carbonate will form: Ca2+aq + CO2,gas + 2 OH-aq --> CaCO3,s + H2Ol
What happens to a metal when exposed to an acid after three days?
The answer depends on what the metal is. Some metals react readily with acid, and some do not.
