Metallic zinc and water are two products formed when hydrogen is passed over heated zinc oxide

Open in App

Solution

Zinc lies above Hydrogen in the reactivity series. Zinc is more reducing than hydrogen. The reverse reaction is feasible, i.e., metallic zinc and water react to form zinc oxide and hydrogen.

Zn + H₂O $rightwards arrow$ ZnO + H₂
