Key Stage 3

Meaning

Acid + Metal → Metal Salt + Hydrogen is the general equation for a neutralisation 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.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Acid + Metal → Metal Salt + Hydrogen is the general equation for a neutralisation reaction between a metal and an acid.

About 'Acid + Metal' Reactions

Acid + Metal reactions are exothermic so the there will be a temperature rise.
Acid + Metal reactions occur when the metal is more reactive than Hydrogen. This means the metal can lose electrons more easily than Hydrogen can.
During an Acid + Metal reaction the H+ ions gain an electron from the metal to produce Hydrogen gas.
