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)

What reacts with a metal what gas produced?

Many metals react with strong acids to produce hydrogen gas.


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.

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


If a substance reacts with a metal to produce hydrogen gas what may you in infer about the substance?

If a substance reacts with a metal to produce hydrogen gas, it likely contains hydrogen ions (H+). This could indicate that the substance is an acid, as acids react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.


What reacts with sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas?

Metals such as zinc, iron, and aluminum react with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen gas along with the corresponding metal sulfate salt. The reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen from the acid by the metal.


Which substances other than alcohols produce hydrogen on reacting with metals?

Acids, such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas. Water can also produce hydrogen gas when it reacts with certain reactive metals, such as sodium or potassium.


What do metals react with acids to produce?
