Question

Write equation for dilute Sulfuric acid producing hydrogen.

Answer 1

• When metals react with dilute acid, salt is formed and hydrogen gas is released.
• Dilute Sulfuric acid$\left(H_{2}S{O}_4\right)$ reacts with Zinc$\left(Zn\right)$ to give salt Zinc sulfate and Hydrogen$\left(H_2\right)$.
• The reaction involved is - $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{ZnSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right) \\ \mathrm{Zinc}\mathrm{Sulfuric}\mathrm{acid}\mathrm{Zinc}\mathrm{sulfate}\mathrm{Hydrogen} \end{gathered}$$
