Many transition metals will react with acids to form a salt and hydrogen gas. For example, zinc will react with hydrochloric acid to form the black-colored solid zinc chloride and hydrogen. The formula is: Zn+2HCl-->ZnCl2+H2.
The group 1 and 2 metals will often react with water, sometimes explosively. Sodium reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. The formula is: 2Na+2H2O-->2NaOH+H2.
The reactivity series of metals (see wikipedia -Reactivity series) shows a list of the metals that react.

Name some acids that react with metals?
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
What metals would calcium nitrate react with?
Calcium nitrate don't react with metals; a possible reaction is with the water from the solution.
Which kind of chemical will react with an acid to form Hydrogen?
A metal more active than hydrogen in the electromotive series will react with an acid to form hydrogen gas.
What acid is formed when the P4O10 react with water?
phosphoric acid
What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?
A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
What are unreactive metals?
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
Do metals in group 1 react more with water than in acid?
yes
What metal reacts quickly with water and acid?
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
Why don't carbonic acids react with metals?
Carbonic acid does react with metals as similar to the other acids. But in nature, carbonic acid molecule is unstable. It has an equilibrium where carbonic acid dissociates into a water molecule and a carbon dioxide molecule.
Do all metals react with hydrocholric acid?
no all metals do not react with hydrochloric acids
What metal reacts with acids?
Lots of metals react with acids. It depends on exactly what acid, and the concentration of that acid. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid (aqua regia, royal water) will react with gold and other precious metals. The alkali metals will react readily with acid, as will most metals. You have to know that any metal with incomplete orbital has the ability to react with any proton donating species. (proton donating species are acids according to Bronston-Lowry theory)
What two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Two metals that will react with dilute hydrochloric acid are zinc and magnesium.
Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?
No, inert metals as Gold, Platinum and Palladium do not react with hydrochloric acid.
Do all metals react with acid then disappear?
No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.
Why do some metals not react with acid?
Metals whose surfaces are "passivated" by for example the formation of an insoluble oxide do not react with acid. An example is aluminium which is resistant to dilute acid.
What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?
Gold and platinum. 'Aqua regia' is a mixture of trhe acids, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. This mixture will react with these metals.
