Key Stage 3
Meaning
Acid + Metal → Metal Salt + Hydrogen is the general equation for the reaction between a metal and an acid.
About 'Acid + Metal' Reactions
- Acid + Metal reactions are exothermic so the there will be a temperature rise.
- The reaction between a metal and an acid produces Hydrogen gas which can be seen bubbling from the metal.
- The reaction between a metal and an acid produces a Metal Salt.
Examples
Acid + Metal → Metal Salt + Hydrogen
- Hydrochloric Acid + Lithium → Lithium Chloride + Hydrogen
- Hydrochloric Acid + Iron → Iron Chloride + Hydrogen
- Sulphuric Acid + Potassium → Potassium Sulphate + Hydrogen
- Sulphuric Acid + Aluminium → Aluminium Sulphate + Hydrogen
