Question

What will happen when zinc react with sodium hydroxide?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$NaOH(aq) + Zn(s) → Na_2ZnO_2(aq) + H_2(g)$

Explanation:

When zinc metal react with sodium hydroxide as a reactants, it forms Sodium zincate and releases hydrogen gas as a products. Hydrogen gas releases very highly. It becomes exothermic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

⏩Zinc reacts with NaOH to form sodium zincate with the evolution of hydrogen gas.⏪

Zn + 2NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + H2
