what happen when matel react with water and acid?
Answers
Metals react with water and produce a metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
Acids react with most metals to form a salt and hydrogen gas. ... For example, zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, producing zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

Answer:
Metals differ in their reactivity towards water. Sodium and Potassium metals reacts very vigorously with water; this reaction gives out so much heat that the hydrogen evolved catches fire. Magnesium does not react with cold water but reacts on heating. Zinc reacts with boiling water and iron reacts with steam, indicating that it is very much less reactive. Metals like copper, silver, gold, platinum and mercury do not react with water at all.
Most metals react with dilute acids to liberate hydrogen gas and form metal salts. Some metals, like copper and mercury, do not react with dilute hydrochloric acid. They react with sulphuric acid and nitric acid but they do not liberate hydrogen gas. Metals, like gold and platinum, do not react with dilute acids.
