4.2.1 Reactions of acids with metals

What two products form when a reactive metal reacts with a dilute acid?

A

A salt and hydrogen gas.

B
Zn(s)+H2SO4(aq)→ZnSO4(aq)+H2(g) \text{Zn}(s) + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4(aq) \rightarrow \text{ZnSO}_4(aq) + \text{H}_2(g) Zn(s)+H2​SO4​(aq)→ZnSO4​(aq)+H2​(g)
C

The more reactive metal reacts faster and fizzes more vigorously.

D

When a metal reacts with an acid, the metal loses electrons and is therefore oxidised.
