Reacting a metal with an acid will produce

Back

a metallic salt and hydrogen

Front

Why is it not a good idea to react sodium metal directly with an acid?

Back

sodium is very reactive, so an "explosion" may occur

Reacting a metal oxide with an acid will produce

Back

a metallic salt and water
