∙ 13y agoRemember the general acid reaction eq'ns.
Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water
Acid + Base = Salt + Water
Acid + Metal = Salt +Hydrogen
Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon Dioxide.
So if you react hydrochloric ACID with a METAL it will produce the gas HYDROGEN.

∙ 13y agoThe general rule is that when a metal and an acid react, they produce a salt and hydrogen gas. For example:
Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid --> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen
Sodium + Hydrochloric Acid --> Sodium Chloride + Hydrogen
No gas is released when sulphur is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
it produces hydrogen
2hcl- + k2co3====>2h2co3+2kcl
Magnesium react easily with hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride is obtained.
Nothing will happen to the Sandstone :D Hope that would help =)
Hydrogen gas.
No gas is released when sulphur is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
solid is it?
A base - sodium hydroxide.
Lithium is the most reactive.
Dilute acid should not be added to reactive metals because the result is dangerous. This violent reaction can easily cause damage to property or cause harm to people.
