Question

Why should not be acid stored in Zn container ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Containers/vessels made from which material are safe to store acids. Metals like sodium, magnesium and calcium, react vigorously with mineral acids and give hydrogen. Aluminium, zinc, and iron react less vigorously with mineral acids. ... Therefore, acid are not stored in metal containers.

Answer 2

$[]\huge \mathfrak\red {Ans}\mathfrak\pink{wer}$See, If you add Zn to dilute H2SO4 you produce hydrogen by the reaction

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

The Zn has displaced the H2 from the acid. The H2 is produced as a direct result of this double displacement reaction. ZnSO4 is produced.
