Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:
2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).
Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).
Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).
Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).
Another example:
Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas

Arrhenius Bases, so that other compounds that have the hydroxyl group (OH⁻)
hope this helps!
The reactants are the substances on the left side, which react and give the products on the right side.
The reactants are Fe and O.
The product is Fe2O3.
The arrow to the right means that the reaction is going in only one direction — the only reaction happening at the moment is that Fe and O are making Fe2O3.
(s) means the substance is in the solid state, and (g) means in a gaseous state (or the substance is a gas in that reaction).
