Hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and hydroiodic acids react with nearly all non-noble metals and alloys, dissolving the metal and producing flammable hydrogen gas (Austin, S., A. Glowacki. 2000. Hydrochloric Acid. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online); Ukeles, S.D., M. Freiberg. 2004. Bromine, Inorganic Compounds. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online); Lyday, P. A. 2000. Iodine and Iodine Compounds. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
Ca reacts violently with acids, evolving flammable H2 gas, which may be ignited by reaction heat (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 695; Product Information Sheet No. 212. Sandwich, Pfizer 365betÓéÀÖ. 1969).
Mg reacts with mineral acids, evolving flammable H2 gas (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 689).
Chromium reacts with HCl, evolving flammable H2 gas (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 886).
Iron reacts with HCl, evolving flammable H2 gas (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 915).
Reaction of zinc and acid solutions slowly evolves flammable H2 gas (Goodwin, F.E. 2006. Zinc and Zinc Alloys. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
Magnesium ignites on contact with HI (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 206. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd).
