Solution

Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen and it displaces hydrogen from dilute acids. Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas is evolved. This is a single displacement reaction of a non-metal by a metal.
The zinc will react with sulphuric acid forming zinc sulfate dissolved in solution and releasing hydrogen gas.
Zn (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) ---> ZnSO₄ (aq)+ H₂ (g)
When we take the test tube containing zinc and sulphuric acid near a candle or a burner, we hear a pop sound. This shows the presence of Hydrogen.
