Metals liberate hydrogen gas when treated with acid by displacing the hydrogen of the acid and thus also forming a salt along with hydrogen.

Metal + Acid Salt + H2

Thus,

2Al (s) + 3H2SO4 (aq) Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 3H2 (g)

When a burning candle is brought near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound is heard due to this hydrogen gas.
