Zinc Reacting with Sulfuric Acid
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
Visão geral
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.
