Will acids attack metal?

hydrochloric is the only one easily obtained if you are doing this for a progect, im sure their are others. but overall most acids do not corrode metals.Answer:Essentially all acids will corrode metals by turning the metals into metalic ions or salts.


Reacts with certain metals acid or base?

When certain metals come into contact with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction where hydrogen gas is produced. With bases, some metals may react to form hydrogen gas and a metal salt. The reactivity of the metal and the type of acid or base will determine the specific reaction that takes place.


Why acids stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?

Because most acids react with most metals. Which is why sometimes, rust and other problems occur when your using metal pipes. Also, a base (the opposite of acids) is used to unclog pipes and drains instead of acids because of its corrosive effect on metals.


Does aluminium react with acid?

Yes, aluminium reacts with strong acids such as hydrochloric acid to produce aluminium chloride and hydrogen gas. However, a layer of oxide forms on the surface of aluminium when it is exposed to air, which acts as a protective barrier against further reaction with acids.


What kind of element do metals react with?

They react with a oxydation reaction , forming oxydes. For example: Iron (Fe) reacts with the equation, 2 Fe(s) + O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) = 2 Fe(OH)2(s) Fe(OH)2 is rust. or with the formation of hydroxides: 2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2

What can react with Acids?

Bases can react with acids to form salts and water. Metals can also react with acids to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. Additionally, carbonates and bicarbonates can react with acids to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.


Do acids react with certain chemicals to produce chemical change?

Yes, most notably acids will react with bases and some metals.


Can only acids dissolve metals?

No, bases can also react with some metals (ex.: aluminium and sodium hydroxide).


What metals react with acids true or false?

There is a fault with the question. Acids react with metal -TRUE What metals react - all will with the right acid - some need extremely strong acids -gold for example needs aqua regia


What is produced when acids react with some metals?

When acids react with some metals, they produce hydrogen gas and a salt of the metal. The metal replaces hydrogen in the acid to form a salt, while hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct of the reaction. This process is known as a single displacement reaction or a metal-acid reaction.


Do acids make hydrogen when they react with some metals?

Yes, acids can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. The acid will donate protons to the metal, causing it to lose electrons and form metal ions. The liberated electrons then reduce hydrogen ions in the acid to produce hydrogen gas.


Name metals which do not react with oxygen?

Au and Pt are some metals which do not react with O.


Does acid react with metals?

All metals do not react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.Only those metals which lie above hydrogen react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.Whereas copper, silver, gold, and platinum do not react with acids to produce hydrogen.


What is the affect of acid on different types of metals?

It really depends on the type of acid and the metal. Metals like gold and platinum (and others metals which are called the noble metals) are impervious to acids except for aqua regia which is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Some metals like copper won't react with acids unless there is also an oxidizer present like hydrogen peroxide and then some metals like zinc will react with most acids readily.


How do acids react with other elements?

Certain elements react with acids. Almost every metal react with acids except some, including copper, silver and gold. Metalloids are also weakly react with acids.


What can bases react with?

Bases can react with acids to form salts and water. They can also react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. Additionally, some bases can react with fats and oils in a process known as saponification.
