Expert Answer
when conc. acid reacts with metal it liberates hydrogen gas and respective salt of the acid
Metal + Dilute acid ? Salt + Hydrogen
Bubbles of hydrogen gas can be seen on the surface.
Metals like sodium, potassium react violently.
2 Na + 2 HCl ? 2 NaCl + H2
Magnesium reacts quite rapidly with dilute HCl.
Mg + 2 HCl ? MgCl2 + H2
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises the H2 gas produced to water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2).that is Why hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid
