Question

Write reactions of non metals with dilute acids​

Answer 1

Non-metals do not react with acids. This is due to the fact that a substance undergoing reaction with acids, donates electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. But non-metals are acceptor of electrons and hence they do not donate electron to the hydrogen ion of the acid.

Answer 2

You must have found that non-metals generally do not react with acids but metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a pop sound . You must have noticed that copper does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid even on heating but it reacts with sulfuric acid .
