Q
Q: What type of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a metal?
Solution:
The reaction between an acid and a metal is a redox reaction, where the metal is oxidized.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what an acid is. An acid is a substance that can donate protons (H+ ions) in a reaction.
Step 2: Know what a metal is. Metals are elements that can lose electrons easily.
Step 3: When an acid and a metal come together, the acid donates protons to the metal.
Step 4: The metal loses electrons in this process, which is called oxidation.
Step 5: Since the acid gains the electrons from the metal, it is reduced.
Step 6: This type of reaction is called a redox reaction because it involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
