Hello!
If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, you can conclude that the solution is <span>probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.
Strong Acids, like HCl, react with metals to produce salts and release gaseous hydrogen (H</span>₂) which is evidenced by the generation of bubbles in the solution. The general chemical equation for this kind of reactions for a metal M and an acid HA is:
2M(s) + 2HA(aq) → 2MA(aq) + H₂(g)
Have a nice day!
