Zinc, aluminum, and magnesium are brittle metals that react with acids to form hydrogen gas. When these metals come in contact with acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, a chemical reaction occurs that releases hydrogen gas as a byproduct. It is important to handle these reactions with caution as they can be potentially hazardous.
Acids react with metals by producing a salt and hydrogen gas. The metal displaces hydrogen from the acid, forming a salt of the metal and hydrogen gas. The reactivity depends on the specific metal and acid involved.
indeed it does my friend
The metals which are more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its solution. It is also an example of displacement reaction.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
No, hydrogen gas does not liberate when metals react with carbonic acid. Instead, when metals react with carbonic acid, carbon dioxide gas is usually formed along with a metal salt.
