Zinc has a negative reduction potential (Eo = -0.76V) so it is favorable for zinc to be oxidized (the opposite of being reduced) under standard conditions: Zn --> Zn2+ + 2 e- Eo = +0.76V In sulfuric acid you primarily have three species present (not including the water): H+, HSO4-, and SO42-. Of these three, H+ has the highest reduction potential: 2 H+ + 2 e- --> H2 Eo = 0.00V So in the presence of H+ ions from sulfuric acid, zinc will oxide to form Zn2+: 2 H+ + Zn --> H2 + Zn2+ Eo = 0.00V + 0.76V = 0.76 V
if you were adding zinc metal to sulphuric acid, how would you know when all the acid had all reacted?
I think it's because sulfate is the salt of sulfuric acid. They both have the same ions, therefore have no reaction. Its like adding sulfuric acid to sulfuric acid.
FeSO4 and Hydrogen sulphide
Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2 Hydrogen gas.
hgytdemu
That would depend on the concentration of the sulfuric acid.
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.

Sulfuric acid produces sulfates when it reacts with metals.
FeSO4 and Hydrogen sulphide
Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.
Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2 Hydrogen gas.
hgytdemu

sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
It would be 98 grams.
Dodycyle benzene is reacted with oleum or sulfuric acid in slow addition and strong agittation manner
You'd get dilute sulfuric acid. The temperature would go up (possibly a lot), since the dissociation of sulfuric acid in water is exothermic.
