Action on Metals
a) Metals above hydrogen in the metal activity series generally react with dilute acids to form their respective salt and hydrogen.
Metal + Acid
Salt + Hydrogen
b) Very active metals like potassium, sodium and calcium also react similarly, but tend to explode when combining with acids
.
c) Nitric acid (of variousconcentrations) usually exhibits oxidizing property, rather than acidic properties. Metals such as magnesium combine with extremely dilute (1%) nitric acid to liberate hydrogen.

Action with Basic Oxides
Oxides that can add on hydroxyl ions to their molecules are called basic oxides. These oxides get neutralized when they react with acids.

Action with Basic Hydroxides
Acids undergo neutralization reaction with basic hydroxides to form salt and water.
Basic hydroxide + Acid
Salt + Water
Action with Carbonates and Hydrogen carbonates
Acids react with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates to form their respective salt, water and carbon dioxide.
Carbonate/Bicarbonate + Acid
Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
Action with Sulphites and Bisulphites
Acids react with sulphites and bisulphites to form their respective salt, water and sulphur dioxide.
Sulphite/Bisulphites + Acid
Salt + Water + Sulphur dioxide
With Metal Sulphides
Acids react with metal sulphides to form their respective salt and hydrogen sulphide.
