It produces hydrogen gas and a salt.
Metal+Hydrogen compound (eg. Acid) ----- Metal compound+Hydrogen gas
Eg.
2Ag+2HCl ---- H2 (gas)+2AgCl
A metal more active than hydrogen in the electromotive series will react with an acid to form hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen react with metals and hydrides are formed.
All active metals below Hydrogen in the galvanic series.
Well if you put magnesium with hydrochloric acid, the magnesium reacts with it and creates hydrogen and magnesium chloride. Here is the word equation... Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen
acids
A synthetic element that is used in smoke detectors is
gaining an electron
Acids react with metals. Metals are themselves basic in nature. Metals displaces hydrogen from acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
It reacts with zinc to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen
Very active metals which are on top of the electro-chemical series like sodium can react with water to release hydrogen.
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
Hydrogen gas
When mixed with certain metals, a hydrogen gas is produced.
The metal reacts with water to form hydrogen Gas, the vigorous reaction causes the hydrogen to set fire; but WHY they react , is clearly to do with Ionic bonding, Metal+Non metals,
Many metals react with strong acids to produce hydrogen gas.
hydrogen gas is liberated when an acid reacts with a metal.The equation is as follows acid + metal=salt + h2
when alluminium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid , it forms alluminium chloride and gives out hydrogen
