All the alkaline metals will explode violently when exposed to H2O. The further down you go on the Periodic Table of the elements, the more reactive they become.(Hope this helps!)
An explosion doesn't occur.
Yes, when an acid reacts with a metal, it forms a salt and hydrogen gas. This is a chemical reaction in which the acid donates a proton to the metal, resulting in the formation of a salt composed of the metal cation and the anion from the acid.
No one is decomposed by hydrogen releasing.
When you mix metal with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is usually released. This reaction occurs as the metal displaces hydrogen ions from the acid, forming metal ions and hydrogen gas as a byproduct.
Magnesium is the metal. Sulfuric acid is a compound.
Na2So4
Sulfuric acid produces sulfates when it reacts with metals.
An explosion doesn't occur.
The metal would most likely form a metal salt.
Heating a substance causes the molecules within it to move more quickly. So imagine that every surface atom of the metal reacted with acid: the faster the reacted material can move away from the unreacted metal, the faster new acid molecules can get close enough to the metal to react.
The reaction of sodium with dilute acid and even pure water is violent. The reaction produces hydrogen gas, which ignites and in turn ignites the sodium. In some cases the sodium can explode, sending droplets of burning, molten sodium into the air.
the metal will sing a song
Aluminum is a silvery metal that will evolve hydrogen gas when reacted with a strong acid. Aluminum will also evolve hydrogen gas as a product of its reaction with a strong acid.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, and when reacted with a strong base will give a neutral salt. When reacted with a weak base it will give an acid salt. Example, HCl + NH3 => NH4Cl.Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid and is actually CO2 + H2O. When reacted with a strong base, it will give an alkaline salt and when reacted with a weak base will give a solution the pH of which will depend on the Kb and Ka of the reactants.
The acid that reacted to give the salt NaCl is hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Table salt is NaCl (Sodium Chloride), but a salt in chemistry is just the solid produced when a metal is reacted with an acid.
umm it melts them or makes em explode i think
