Q

Metals react with acids to give:

ALP CBT-1, 9-Aug-18 S-1 2018
✓ Answer: C A salt and hydrogen
When metals react with acids, a displacement reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of a salt and hydrogen gas. For instance, when Sodium (Na) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrogen gas (H2) are produced. Non-metals do not react with acids because they inherently accept electrons, making it impossible for them to donate electrons to the hydrogen ions of the acid.
