reaction with metals . potassium, sodium , iron ,zinc,copper magnesium
Dear Student,
Acids react with most metals and a salt is produced. During the reaction hydrogen gas is produced.
zinc + sulphuric acid → zinc sulphate + hydrogen
Mg + 2 HCl ------ > MgCl2 + H2
Zn + HCl ------ > ZnCl2 + H2
2Na + H2SO4 ------ > Na2SO4 + H2
2K + H2SO4 ------ >K2SO4 + H2
Cu + HCl ------ > CuCl2 + H2
2Fe + 3H2SO4 ------ > Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2.
Metals do not readily react with bases, no reaction occurs.
