Question: 1 / 400

What type of energy is produced when a metal reacts with an acid?

Potential energy

Magnetic energy

Heat energy

When a metal reacts with an acid, a chemical reaction takes place. This type of reaction releases energy in the form of heat, which means that the correct answer is C. Potential energy (option A), magnetic energy (option B), and nuclear energy (option D) are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of energy released during this chemical reaction. Potential energy is energy stored in an object, magnetic energy is produced by magnets and nuclear energy is produced by reactions within the atom's nucleus. While potential energy and nuclear energy may also be involved in a chemical reaction, they are not the type of energy that is primarily produced in this scenario. Similarly, magnetic energy is not involved at all in the reaction between a metal and an acid. Therefore, heat energy is the only correct and relevant answer in this case.
