    What do you mean Saketh?

    There are lots of possible reactions, some of them have a general equation, but the others are tricky. One cannot easily tell what are the products from a given sample of reactants unless the reaction is done in the lab and the products analysed, one already knows the reaction.

    You have the
    -Metal plus acid, basic one

    Metal + Acid -> Metal Salt + Hydrogen Gas

    -Burning of metals

    Metal + Oxygen -> Metal Oxide

    -Metal oxide and acid

    Metal oxide + acid -> Metal Salt + Water

    -Metal Carbonate and acid

    Metal Carbonate + Acid -> Metal Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water

    -Decomposition of metal carbonate through heat

    Metal Carbonate -> Metal oxide + carbon dioxide

    amongst others. Of course, there are exceptions to the general equations, like the reaction of Copper and Hydrochloric acid

    C + HCl -> No reaction
