Question

what happens when zinc react with water.... answer with equation

Answer 1

Zinc does not react directly with water.It depends on the temperature of both, the zinc metal as well as the water. Under normal conditions, zinc does not react with water.

However, hot zinc(Zn) reacts readily with steam to produce zinc oxide and hydrogen gas.

Zinc oxide is yellow when hot and white when cool.

Zn[hot] + H2O[steam]➡ ZnO + H2

The surface of the metallic zinc reacts with the oxygen of the air (O2) in presence of water (H2O), to form zinc hydroxide (Zn (OH) 2). Zinc hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the air to form zinc hydroxycarbonate (2ZnCO3.3Zn (OH) 2), the main constituent of the patina that protects it from other attacks.
