Acids Reacting with Metals
- Metals React with Acids to Produce Salts
- Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
- The type of salt produced depends on
which metal is used and which acid
- Hydrochloric Acid will ALWAYS produce Chloride Salts
- 2HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2 (Magnesium Chloride)
- 6HCl + 2Al -> 2AlCl3 + 3H2 (Aluminium Chloride)
- 2HCl + Zn -> ZnCl2 + H2 (Zinc Chloride)
- Sulfuric Acid will ALWAYS produce sulfate salts
- H2SO4 + Mg -> MgSO4 + H2 (Magnesium Sulfate)
- 3H2SO4 + 2Al -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2 (Aluminium Sulfate)
- H2SO4 + Zn -> ZnSO4 + H2 (Zinc Sulfate)
- Nitric Acid Produces Nitrate
Salts ONLY when neutralised
- Nitric Acid reacts with alkalis
to produce nitrates
- Nitric Acid reacts with metals to
produce NITROGEN OXIDES
- Metals that are LESS reactive than hydrogen DON'T react with ACID
