sodium zincate and hydrogen gas is formed when zinc is treated with sodium chloride .(∩︵∩)


shailendrajha9pe3pjf: As Zinc is less reactive than sodium.Hence it cannot replace sodium from its salt. Zinc reacts with sodium hydroxide and forms sodium zincate and Hydrogen. As Zinc is less reactive than sodium.Hence it cannot replace sodium from its salt
raftaar221: yes.. (∩︵∩)

Zn + NaCl → ZnCl₂ + Na

  • Zn is solid (s)
  • NaCl is salt (ppt.)
  • ZnCl₂ is salt (ppt)
  • Na is solid (s)

Why in ZnCl₂, chlorine have 2 atoms?

→ Zn (Zinc) have valency of 2+, which means that it can break to give 2 electrons.

Thus to have a stable reaction, the chlorine which have 1- valency had two be twice in quantity.

What type of reaction it is?

This is displacement reaction because element displaces other element from a compound.
