When an acid (like hydrochloric) is added to a metal (like zinc, magnesium, etc) bubbles are formed. The gas produced is hydrogen, and a salt is also formed, e.g:
2Mg + 2HCl ---> 2MgCl + H2gas
Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen gas, e.g. magnesium + sulfuric acid → magnesium sulfate + hydrogen gas. Symbol equation would be Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2gas
Another Answer:
An acid would react with a metal to produce a salt and hydrogen gas. Examples:
Mg + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + H2gas --and-- 2Na + 2HCl ---> 2NaCl + H2gas
More Information:
Generally, some acids react with some metals but all acids do not react with all metals. However, if there is a reaction, the metal will react with the acid producing the salt of that metal and that acid (as above). Again, generally, the other product of the reaction will be hydrogen gas, although there are some exceptions to this, e.g:
Cu + 4(con.)HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 gas + 2H2O
NO2 is a brown, noxious gas. No hydrogen gas is produced.

They react to produce a salt and hydrogen
e.g.
2HCl + Zn = ZnCl2 + H2
H2SO4 + Zn = ZnSO4 + H2
2HNO3 + Zn = Zn(NO3)2 + H2
2H3PO4 + 3Zn = Zn3(PO4)2 + 3H2

For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) is reacted with magnesium (Mg):
2 HCl + Mg --> MgCl2 + H2

What vitamin binds to an enzyme and plays a role in catalyst?
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), binds to enzymes and functions as a coenzyme. It plays a vital role in various biochemical reactions, acting as a catalyst for over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. Some of these reactions include the metabolism of amino acids, production of neurotransmitters, and synthesis of hemoglobin.
Which type of nucleic acids are capable of catalyzing some types of enzymatic reactions?
RNA, not DNA
What are some chemical reactions?
some chemical reactions take place when a chemical is added to a metal. sometimes the chemicl turns cloudy, it may fizz or a coat of black may appear on the piece of metal. hope this helps! :)
What things corrode metal?
Corrosion of metal is caused by oxygen or oxidising substances, salty water and some medium strong acids
How do acids react with other elements?
Certain elements react with acids. Almost every metal react with acids except some, including copper, silver and gold. Metalloids are also weakly react with acids.
What are some reactions of acids acting on a carbonate?
HCL (hydrochloric acid found in the stomach) and sodium bicarbonate (found in antacids).
What are some chemical equations on hydrogen?
hydrogen gas is produced through chemical reactions like: Mg+H2SO4=H2+MgSO4 The general equation is : metal + acids = hydrogen + salt.
Nucleic acids capable of catalyzing some types of enzymatic reactions?
RNA

What are some metal reactions?
copper sulphate plus hydrochloric acid
What is produced when acids react with some metals?
Hydrogen gas is produced when acids react with some metals. Protons are reduced as the metal is oxidized.

What is the effect of acid on some metals?
That will depend not only on the metal but also on the acid. Some strong acids will dissolve almost all metals almost instantly, some weak acids will do nothing at all to any metal. Some metals (e.g. zinc) are corroded or even dissolved by most acids, some metals (e.g. gold) are totally unaffected except by certain mixtures of very strong acids.
What things corrode metal?
Corrosion of metal is caused by oxygen or oxidising substances, salty water and some medium strong acids
What are some example of exothermic reaction?
Exothermic Chemical Reactions · mixing sodium and chlorine to yield table salt · Respiration; combustion of fuels; and neutralization reactions between acids and alkali's
