When metals react with acids, a salt of the metal and hydrogen gas are formed. We can investigate the reactivity of different metals by placing samples in acid and comparing the results.

Small pieces of solid calcium metal are placed in two different concentrations of two different acids (hydrochloric acid and nitric acid). The calcium reacts most vigorously with the hydrochloric acid ...

The acidity in certain foods triggers a chemical reaction with aluminum. Imagine the metal "disintegrating" a bit, releasing tiny particles that can sneak into your food. This metal transfer can ...

A recent study described develops methods for synthesizing and quantifying metal-induced glycation products, particularly in ...
