Concept Explanation
 

Reaction of Metals with Acids and Bases

 Reaction of Acids with Metals:

Dilute acids (like HCl, H_2SO_4 but not HNO_3) react with certain active metals like Zn, Fe to evolve H_2gas. Thus, these acids or substances containing these kind of acids should not be kept in metal containers.         

  Metal + Dilute Acid rightarrowSalt + H_2

 Reaction of Acids with Metal Carbonate and Hydrogen Carbonate:

limestone, chalk and marble are different forms of calcium carbonate. Acids react with metal carbonates and hydrogen carbonates to produce corresponding salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Metal carbonate/ hydrogen carbonate + Acid rightarrow Salt + CO_2 + H_2O

Reaction of Acids With Metal Oxides:

Acids react with certain metal oxides (basic oxides) to form salt and water.
