Zinc Reacting with Sulfuric Acid

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

Ikhtisar

Zinc reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. This is a straightforward single replacement reaction used in laboratory hydrogen generation. Zinc granules dissolve steadily with visible gas evolution.

Contoh Sehari-hari

Zinc galvanization protects steel from corrosion partly because zinc preferentially reacts with environmental acids instead of the underlying iron.

Pentingnya dalam Industri

Zinc sulfate is used in agriculture as a micronutrient supplement for crops, in the rayon manufacturing process, and in zinc electroplating baths.
