Lots of metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid; anything above hydrogen in the activity series should do so.

What gas is produced when metals react with an acid?

Hydrogen


What is an example of an irritant chemical?

dilute: hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammmonia


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)


What happens when hydrochloric acid is placed on calcite?

It effervesces vigorously. [effervesces means to fizz or bubble] It reacts with strong acids, releasing carbon dioxide: CaCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)


What are some common uses of acids?

There are numerous uses for acids.Acids are often used to remove rust and other corrosion from metals in a process known as pickling.They may be used as an electrolyte in a wet cell battery, such as sulfuric acid in a car battery.In humans and many other animals, hydrochloric acid is a part of the gastric acid secreted within the stomach to help hydrolyze proteins and polysaccharides, as well as converting the inactive pro-enzyme, pepsinogen into the enzyme, pepsin.Steel used in construction is acid treated before painting. Dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid will remove any surface rust which would otherwise spread under the painted surface.'Rust remover' used to repair cars is dilute phosphoric acid - H3PO4.Baking powder contains tartaric acid.'Lime scale' removers contain dilute acids. Try using lemon juice or vinegar (weak acids). Lime scale is calcium carbonate (also called furring).A wasp sting is alkali. It may be neutralised with a weak acid (lemon juice or vinegar).
