i would say NO, BUT i cannot explain why

all i know is, I'm doing my chemistry homework AND there is a multiple choice question,

and it says, what about acids is not true?

A) acids are good conductors of electricity -TRUE

B) When pH paper is dipped into an acid, the paper changes color - TRUE

C) Aqueous solutions of acids have a sour taste - TRUE

D) Acids react with bases to produce H2, hydrogen gas - I have not a clue!

What reacts with metals to produce hydrogen gas?

Metals often form hydrides and are found widely in chemistry. notable examples are LiAlH4 potent reducing agent in organic chemistry and NaH powerful base ~50 PKa. in addition hydrogen can adsorb onto metal surfaces. this is important in the catalysis of hydrogenation reactions where Hydrogen gas is reacted with unsaturated compounds by using a platnium surface(many other conditions/metal catalysts are also used)


Why do non metals do not replace hydrogen from acids?

This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...


What gas is produced when metals react with an acid?

Hydrogen


Which metals react with water at room temperature?

The most common set of metals that react with water at room temperature are the alkali metals, namely lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. while these metals react quite violently with water at room temperature, many if not most other metals have some sort of reaction with water at room temperature (IE, iron rusting in water)


Why won't aluminum and potassium react when mixed together?

Aluminum and potassium are both metals. Metals for alloys but do not react with one another. In somewhat more detail, metals tend to react by giving up their electrons to nonmetals. Since both aluminum and potassium will tend to give up electrons rather than gain them, they do not react.

What metals react with acids not water?

Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.


Why are acids consider corrosive?

Because they can wear away metals and that produces hydrogen gas


What will happen when metals are made to react with acids?

When metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to form the salt, releasing bubbles of hydrogen gas in the process. This reaction can produce heat and effervescence.


What type of gas is released in reaction between metals and acids?

hydrogen gas is liberated when an acid reacts with a metal.The equation is as follows acid + metal=salt + h2


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.


What type of reaction produces hydrogen gas?

The reaction that produces hydrogen gas is a chemical reaction known as a displacement reaction, specifically when a more reactive metal reacts with an acid (like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid). This reaction produces hydrogen gas as one of the products along with a salt of the metal.


What substance can acids react to produce hydrogen gas?

Acids can react with metals (such as zinc or magnesium) to produce hydrogen gas. The acid reacts with the metal to form a salt and hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct of the reaction.


The gas evolved when metals react with dilute acids?

When metals react with dilute acids, hydrogen gas is evolved. This is because metals displace hydrogen from the acid, resulting in the formation of metal salts and hydrogen gas as a byproduct. The reaction can be represented as metal + acid → metal salt + hydrogen gas.


What are metals that react with both acids and bases?

Aluminum and zinc are metals that react with both acids and bases. In acids, they undergo a displacement reaction to form a salt and hydrogen gas. In bases, they react to form a salt and hydrogen gas as well.


Acids combine with active metals to give off H2?

Yes, when acids react with active metals, they produce hydrogen gas. This reaction is a redox reaction in which the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to form a metal salt and hydrogen gas is released. This is a common way to test for the reactivity of metals with acids.


Does germanium react with acids?

Yes, germanium does react with acids, such as hydrochloric acid. The reaction produces germanium salts and hydrogen gas.


Do non metals liberate hydrogen gas from dilute. acids?

No. Metals liberate hydrogen gas from acids.
