Question
Bases should not be kept in active metal container. Why?
✓

Answer

Acids are very reactive as they contain reactive hydroxide ions.
When reactive metals are in contact with acids they react and produce metallic salt and hydrogen gas is liberated.
Metal + Acid → Metallic salt + Hydrogen gas
Hence acids are not stored in the metallic container.
