Best Answer

When you put zinc dust in sodium hydroxide solution, sodium zincate and hydrogen are formed.

Zn + 2 H2O + 2 NaOH → Na2Zn(OH)4 + H2

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.
