When sulfuric acid reacts with beryllium, the beryllium displaces hydrogen from the acid. This forms beryllium sulfate, a salt, and hydrogen gas is released.
In simpler terms, beryllium reacts with sulfuric acid to produce beryllium sulfate and hydrogen gas.
The chemical equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and beryllium is:
Beryllium + Sulfuric acid → Beryllium sulfate + Hydrogen gas
