metals and acids

• Name three common acids used in chemistry.

  Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid
• What do all acids contain?

  Hydrogen
• What can metals do in relation to hydrogen in acids?

  Displace hydrogen from acids
• What is produced when magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid?

  Magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas
• What do scientists call substances like magnesium sulfate?

  A salt
• What are the two products formed when acids react with metals?

  A salt and hydrogen gas
• How do we determine which salt is produced in a reaction?

  Based on the acid and metal used
• What type of salts do hydrochloric acid produce?

  Salts that end in chloride
• What type of salts do sulfuric acid produce?

  Salts that end in sulfate
• Which metals should you describe reactions for with hydrochloric and sulfuric acids?

  Magnesium, zinc, and iron
• What salt is produced when magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid?

  Magnesium chloride
• What salt is produced when magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid?

  Magnesium sulfate
• Why does magnesium react rapidly with acids?

  It is more reactive than hydrogen
• How does zinc's reactivity with acids compare to magnesium's?

  Zinc reacts rapidly, like magnesium
• How does iron's reaction with acids differ from magnesium and zinc?

  Iron reacts slowly compared to them
• What is the reactivity of iron compared to hydrogen?

  Iron is slightly more reactive than hydrogen
• What type of questions can you find in the revision workbook related to acids and metals?

  Questions on reactions of acids with metals
• What are the key points about how acids react with metals?

  • Acids react with metals to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
  • The type of salt depends on the acid and metal.
  • Common acids include hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid.
  • Metals like magnesium, zinc, and iron can displace hydrogen from acids.
