1        Some metals react with dilute acids and give out (1) hydrogen and heat. During the

reaction, the metals decrease in size, showing that acids have (2) corrosive effect on these metals.

2        The gas produced in the reaction between acid and some metals can be tested by a burning splint.

The gas burns with a (3) ‘pop’ sound.

3        We should not use acidic detergents to clean the surfaces of some building materials such as

(4) marble and (5) limestone, because both of them contain (6) calcium carbonate which

is easily (7) corroded by acids.

The gas produced in the reaction is (8) carbon dioxide.
