Carbon dioxide is given off during the reaction between copper carbonate and hydrochloric acid. Carbon dioxide turns limewater milky or cloudy white.

Copper reacts with hot and concentrated sulphuric acid to form copper sulphate, sulphur dioxide gas and water.

Dilute sulphuric acid, dilute nitric acid are non-oxidising acids. Copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid. This is because copper is lower in reactivity series than hydrogen. Thus, copper cannot displace hydrogen from the non-oxidising acid.

Copper is less reactive than hydrogen. So it do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.

Sulfuric acid

Heating up chemicals adds more energy to the system, allowing molecules to colide with more force increasing the probably of a reaction taking place.

To make sure all of the acid has reacted, add the excess of the solid reactant. Filtering removes the unreacted insoluble reactant from the salt solution. As the acid is all used up and the insoluble reactant has been removed, this only leaves the salt and water.

Sulfuric acid is a great proton source. In organic chemistry, H2SO4 and other acids can be used as acid catalysts for reactions like alcohol dehydration. Heating up any solution increases the Brownian motion of the molecules in the system.

Acids can be neutralised by metal carbonates The hydrogen ions (H +) from the acid react with the carbonate ions (CO 3 2-) to form water and carbon dioxide gas. A salt is also produced. The salt is named in the same way as before, taking the metal’s name from the carbonate and the ending from the type of acid used.

Lime and baking soda are two affordable and readily available chemicals that neutralize acids. Put on safety goggles, an acid-resistant apron and rubber gloves.

As their studies continued, Wymer and Foster found that a number of process geometries, including pot, upflow column, downflow trickle, and slab dissolvers could all be used to dissolve uranium metal.

Uranium metal reacts with almost all non-metal elements (with the exception of the noble gases) and their compounds, with reactivity increasing with temperature. Hydrochloric and nitric acids dissolve uranium, but non-oxidizing acids other than hydrochloric acid attack the element very slowly.

Reaction with hydrochloric acid With hydrochloric acid, lithium reacts like other metals, forming lithium chloride and hydrogen.

Reaction of lithium with acids Lithium metal dissolves readily in dilute sulphuric acid to form solutions containing the aquated Li(I) ion together with hydrogen gas, H2.

Amongst the metals iron,magnesium,zinc and aluminium, which reacts 1) fastest with dil. sulphuric acid and. 2)slowest with dil. sulphuric acid .

Metals below hydrogen (copper, silver, gold and platinum), will not react with dilute acid. They cannot displace hydrogen from the non-metal anion.
