==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Acid + Metal → Metal Salt + Hydrogen]] is the general [[Chemical Equation|equation]] for a [[neutralisation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] between a [[metal]] and an [[acid]].
 
===About 'Acid + Metal' Reactions===
: '''[[Acid]] + [[Metal]]''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] are [[exothermic]] so the there will be a [[temperature]] rise.
: '''[[Acid]] + [[Metal]]''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] occur when the [[metal]] is more [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[Hydrogen]]. This means the [[metal]] can lose [[electron]]s more easily than [[Hydrogen]] can.
: During an '''[[Acid]] + [[Metal]]''' [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] the [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|H<sup>+</sup> ions]] gain an [[electron]] from the [[metal]] to [[product|produce]] [[Hydrogen]] [[gas]].
 
===Examples===
'''[[Acid]] + [[Metal]] → [[Metal Salt]] + [[Hydrogen]]'''
: [[Hydrochloric Acid]] + [[Lithium]] → [[Lithium Chloride]] + [[Hydrogen]]
: [[Hydrochloric Acid]] + [[Iron]] → [[Iron Chloride]] + [[Hydrogen]]
: <chem>HCl + Li = LiCl + H2O<chem>
: [[Sulphuric Acid]] + [[Potassium]] → [[Potassium Sulphate]] + [[Hydrogen]]
