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)
Hydrogen
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!
If you put Magnesium in boiling water, bubbles of Hydrogen are released. Magnesium burns in steam.More specifically:Mg(s)+H2O(g) --> Mg(OH)2(s)+H2 (g)
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...
sodium hydroxide gives off a slightly oddurless brown gas when reacted with metals. the brown gas is due to the rusty water like particles evaporate giving off the brown gas. Damien Naidu research laboratory. Sodium hydroxide is actually a base. The correct acid would be Sulfuric acid
Many metals react with strong acids 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.
I am assuming you are mixing Magnesium and Zinc metals with an acid which would produce Hydrogen gas.
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, it likely contains hydrogen ions (H+). This could indicate that the substance is an acid, as acids react with metals 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.
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.
Metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
Sulfuric acid will react with magnesium and most other metals to produce hydrogen gas.
Zinc is a metal that reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen gas.
When acids react with active metals, they always produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
An acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, produces hydrogen gas when it reacts with some metals like zinc or aluminum. The reaction releases hydrogen gas along with a salt as a byproduct.
