Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)

Answer:

Metals react with acid but non metals donot react with acid because

when a substance, reacts with acids it provides electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. Non-metals are acceptors of electrons and hence, they cannot donate electrons.

Explanation: H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 = H2O + MgSO4. 2Al+6HCl→2AlCl3+3H2 2 A l + 6 H C l → 2 A l C l 3 + 3 H 2
