    Question

    Acid reacts with metal to form salt and liberates _______________ gas.

    A.

    Oxygen

    B.

    Hydrogen

    C.

    Carbon Dioxide

    D.

    Nitrogen

    Correct option is B

    Acids react with metals to form salt and liberate hydrogen gas.

    Explanation:
    ● When acids react with metals like zinc or magnesium, they produce a salt and release hydrogen gas.
    ● The reaction follows the formula:
    Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen gas.
    ● For example:
    Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂.

    Information Booster:
    ● This reaction is commonly used in laboratories to demonstrate the properties of acids and gases.
    ● Hydrogen gas is colorless, odorless, and highly flammable.
    ● Strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ react more vigorously with metals compared to weaker acids.

    Additional Information:

    • (C) Carbon Dioxide: Produced when acids react with carbonates, not metals.
