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 react vigorously with metals?
Yes, acids can react vigorously with metals depending on the type of acid and metal. Some common examples include hydrochloric acid reacting with active metals like magnesium, zinc, or aluminum to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. The reactivity often depends on the metal's position in the reactivity series and the concentration of the acid.
Do acids neutrilize bases?
Acids always tend to neutralize by reacting with bases.
What properties do acids exhibit when they are in an aqueous solution?
Acids in an aqueous solution exhibit properties such as turning blue litmus paper red, reacting with metals to produce hydrogen gas, and having a sour taste. They also conduct electricity and have a pH below 7.

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.
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.
Name some acids that react with metals?
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
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.
