Question

Describe the reaction of zinc granules with dilute sulphuric acid with

diagram. Also write the equation of reaction of zinc with sodium

hydroxide.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When zinc dust is taken instead of zinc granules to react with sulphuric acid, the hydrogen gas is formed. ... If sodium hydroxide is taken in place of dilute sulphuric acid and the tube is heated, sodium zincate is formed along with hydrogen gas.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with zinc and water to form sodium zincate and hydrogen gas. Zn(s)+2NaOH(aq)+2H2O(l)→Na2Zn(OH)4(aq)+H2(g).
