When a metal reacts with a strong acid the hydrogen ion is replaced with a metal ion in a replacement reaction What is the gaseous product?

Hydrogen. If the hydrogen ions are being replaced by metal ions, they will join up with the leftover free electrons and evaporate as hydrogen gas.


Non-metal do not replace hydrogen from acid why?

because metal contain positive ions and hydrogen too


How is hydrogen gas made when a metal reacts with a acid?

Acids contain hydrogen. When an acid reacts with a metal it displaces the hydrogen, taking its place in the acid. For example, this is how zinc (a metal) will react with hydrochloric acid. Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
