Zn(s) + NaOH --> nothing to form Na, because Na is more reactive than Zn

However Zn + 2OH- + 2 H2O --> Zn(OH)42- + H2 , in which the sodium ions (Na+) are not involved.

The RXN is not possible as ZINC is less reactive than SODIUM and can't displace it from its aqueous salt solution.

Chemical equation:
ZnCl2 + 2NaOH = Zn(OH)2 + 2NaCl

Zinc Hydroxide is insoluble, it would most likely form some sort of precipitate (ppt).
Sodium chloride is soluble.

zinc reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium zincate and hydrogen gas ie.

2NaOH + Zn -> Na2Zno2 +H2 (atomicity should be written in the right corner of the element).

What is the balanced equation for zinc hydroxide react with excess sodium hydroxide?

There is no reaction , because of the Common Ion Effect. The Common Ion is the Hydroxide.


What is the predicted effect on the reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide?

The reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide begins with precipitation of zinc hydroxide ( Zn(OH)2 ), followed by dissolvement after adding excess sodium hydroxide ( 2 OH- ) to formation of zinc aat-ions ( [Zn(OH)4]2- )


Is zinc a product or reactant?

It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.


Is zinc sulfate a reactant or a product?

It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.


What is formed when Excess of sodium hydroxide react with zinc?

This reaction is to be carried out with Sodium hydroxide dissolved in water and Zinc oxide. The product is Sodium Tetrahydroxidozincate(2-) or Simply Sodium Zincate.ZnO + 2 NaOH + H2O ----> Na2Zn(OH)4

What is the chemical reaction when zinc is heated with caustic soda solution?

Zn does not reacts with water ...Elementary zinc does not react with water molecules. The ion does form a protective, water insoluble zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2) layer with dissolved hydroxide ions, according to the following reaction mechanism:Zn2+ + 2OH- ---> Zn(OH)2(s)it only reacts with boiling water forming zinc hydroxide and hydrogen...Zn + 2H2O ==> Zn(OH)2 + H2Its fairly nonreactive.Zn hardly reacts with cold water.It does however react with steam (heated water) to produce zinc oxide and hydrogen gas:Zn (s) + H2O (l) --> ZnO (s) + H2 (g)
