Which general class of chemicals is always produced when a reactive metal (e.g., Mg, Zn) reacts with an acid (e.g., HCl, H₂SO₄)?

• Oxides

• Salts

• Hydroxides

• Nonmetal hydrides

Refer to the reactivity series. Which metal reacts MORE vigorously when burned in air?

• Sodium (Na) – Burns with a bright yellow flame, forming sodium oxide (Na₂O).

• Magnesium (Mg) – Burns with a brilliant white flame, forming magnesium oxide (MgO).

• Both react equally vigorously.

• Neither reacts with air.

Some metals react with hydrochloric acid. The products are ​ (a)   and ​ (b)   gas. Iron reacts more vigorously than ​ (c)   and less vigorously than​ (d)   . Some metals, for example, ​ (e)   , do not react with dilute acids.

• a salt
• an alkali
• hydrogen
• oxygen
• lead
• zinc
• gold

Complete the word equation for the reaction of calcium with hydrochloric acid, and name the salt produced:

Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid → ________ + Hydrogen

Name of the salt.

Pg. 122: Magnesium reacts with oxygen even when you do not heat it. If you leave magnesium in the air, its surface atoms react with oxygen. This forms a thin layer of ...
