Yes, exothermic reaction:
Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2
Zinc + Sulfuric acid --> Zinc Sulfate + Hydrogen(gas)

What would happen if you put sulfuric acid in water?
You'd get dilute sulfuric acid. The temperature would go up (possibly a lot), since the dissociation of sulfuric acid in water is exothermic.
Is dilution of sulfuric acid endothermic or exothermic?
It is exothermic
Why is Concentrated sulfuric acid a weaker acid compared to dilute sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
What is the ratio of water and concentrated sulfuric acid in dilute sulfuric acid?
It depends on how diluted the dilute sulphuric acid is (i.e. its concentration).
What is left when you evaporate dilute sulfuric acid?
Driving off the water from dilute sulfuric acid will increase the concentration of the acid to the point where it will contain virtually no water.

What is the ratio of water and concentrated sulfuric acid in dilute sulfuric acid?
It depends on how diluted the dilute sulphuric acid is (i.e. its concentration).
Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?
No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.
What is left when you evaporate dilute sulfuric acid?
Driving off the water from dilute sulfuric acid will increase the concentration of the acid to the point where it will contain virtually no water.
Is dilute sulphuric acid basic or acidic?
Dilute sulfuric acid is still acid. It is NOT basic at all.
Is dilute sulfuric acid a compound or a mixture?
Dilute means that something is in a mixture. In this case it is a mixture of sulfuric acid and water which are both compounds.
How do you make concentrated sulfuric acid from dilute sulfuric acid?
You need to remove the water by evaporation.
What happens when copper is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.
If zinc is first added to dilute sulfuric acid then concentrated sulfuric acid and acetic acid in which case will the fizzing be most and least?
The most fizzing will come from the concentrated sulfuric acid, then dilute sulfuric acid, then the acetic acid.The amount of fizzing is due to the concentration of H+ in the solution, and concentrated sulfuric acid has the most H+ in solution. The dilute sulfuric acid has less (because it is dilute) and the acetic acid solution has the least of all because it is a weak acid rather than a strong acid.See the Related Questions for more information.
What percent by volume of acid is in dilute sulfuric acid?
The answer depends on the dilution factor and if the sulfuric acid was 100% to start.
