The salt of the metal produced in the reaction depends on the acid used. Salts are named following the rules in this table.

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it can ...

THE corrosion of a metal in acid solution involves essentially the transfer to another species of one or more electrons by the metal atom, followed by solvation in the aqueous solution. In order to ...
