How does zinc act?
crazily
You can use zinc to stop things rusting how do you do that?
Galvanising is the act of coating a metal (iron or steel) in a thin layer of zinc. The metal is dipped in molten zinc.
What does magnesium oxide act like?
draws fluids from the body.
How aluminum act as reducing agent?
when aluminium react with iron oxide and reduce large amount of heat and give molten iron thats'why Al act as reducing agent
Why does the graphite rod act as a positive terminal where as the zinc casing a negative terminal?
The answer lies in the value of reduction and oxidation potentials of the 2 materials
What is the role of starch in zinc oxide paste?
as a stabilizing agent
What means that it can act as an acid or base?
These are called amphoteric. They can react and neutralise both acids and alkalis. Such examples include aluminum oxide, zinc oxide and beryllium oxide.
What is the reaction between zinc oxide and ammonium chloride on heating?
ZnO + 2 NH4Cl = ZnCl2 + 2 NH3 + H2O The oxide ion reacts as a strong base with the ammonium ion, a weak acid to generate ammonia and water. In this reaction, the zinc and chloride ions act as 'spectator ions'.
Does zinc oxide and octinoxate in sunscreen make your skin dry?
Mild AstringentThe benefit of zinc as a mild astringent is well noted. An astringent is a chemical substance that shrinks, constricts, or tightens body tissues.Zinc oxide has this mild astringent property. It acts as a skin-drying agent and can act as a skin anti-inflammatory. Zinc oxide also helps sooth the skin from itching, rashes, and moist skin conditions such as diaper rash.
What is a solid that's a base and acid?
I think what you are looking for is a material that shows amphoteric properties i.e it can act as an acid or a base in reactions. An example of this is Zinc Oxide.

What is an Amphoteric substance?
Amphoteric Substance is one that can react as either an acid or base."Partly one and partly the other; neither acid nor alkaline; neutral" (I don't think this answer is correct)The word is derived from the Greek prefix ampho- meaning "both".Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) and most metalloids have amphoteric oxides. Other examples include amino acids and proteins, which have amine and carboxylic acid groups, and self-ionizable compounds such as water and ammonia.
Which oxide cannot act as a reducing agent?
Clo2
Why powdered zinc act more vigorously than metal zinc?
Powdered zinc has a greater surface area giving it a greater chance to react with a substance.

Nitric oxide may act as a biological messenger?
true
