General equation is
Metal + acid → Salt + Hydrogen
For example let’s say you have magnesium and you added it to dilute hydrochloride acid, the result would be a solution containing salt of ph7 (magnesium chloride) and hydrogen will be given off during the reaction, reaction if finished when no more hydrogen is given off.
Test for hydrogen gas: Pop split test
Note: Not all metals react with acids, for the metal to react it must be more reactive than hydrogen in order to be able to displace it, this leaves us with a handful of metals which can’t react these include: copper,silver,gold,platinum.
e.g. concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulphuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, etc, Diluted Acid: When an aqueous solution has a relatively low percentage of acid dissolved in it, then it is a dilute acid. For e.g. dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulphuric acid, dilute nitric acid, etc.
Hope this may help you and be the brainliest..!
happy learning..
have a nice day..
