What else can I help you with?
Are acids helpful because they are not corrosive and can be used to protect metals from corrosion?
No, acids are corrosive substances that can accelerate the corrosion of metals by reacting with them. Acids can be used to remove rust from metals, but they can also cause damage if not handled properly. Protective coatings or inhibitors are commonly used to prevent corrosion on metal surfaces.
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.
Do acids neutrilize bases?
Acids always tend to neutralize by reacting with bases.
Is a metal an acid or alkali?
Metals are not acids or alkalis. Metals are elements that tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, forming positive ions. Acids and alkalis are types of substances that can donate or accept protons in solution, respectively.
Do acids and metals react to make oxygen?
Acids can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, not oxygen. When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen gas from the acid.

Do acids corrode some metals?
Yes it does. but not all metals.
What is the effect of acid on some metals?
That will depend not only on the metal but also on the acid. Some strong acids will dissolve almost all metals almost instantly, some weak acids will do nothing at all to any metal. Some metals (e.g. zinc) are corroded or even dissolved by most acids, some metals (e.g. gold) are totally unaffected except by certain mixtures of very strong acids.
Name some acids that react with metals?
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
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.
Would you name some metals that react with acids?
Some of these metals are: Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Sodium, Potassium, ...
What makes acids wear away metals?
Acids can react with metals.
Can only acids dissolve metals?
No, bases can also react with some metals (ex.: aluminium and sodium hydroxide).
What happens when acids bases salts are mixed?
Acids reacting with bases form salts. Salts may soluble in acids.
