Best Answer

El Zn es un reductor, mientras que el H2SO4 es un oxidante, por lo que se dará una reacción rédox, pero dado que ésta no es termonidinámicamente favorable, a menos que se aporte calor, la reacción no tendrá lugar.

La reacción que ocurriría sería la siguiente:

Zn + 2 H2SO4 ---> ZnSO4 + 2 H2O + SO2

You'd get dilute sulfuric acid. The temperature would go up (possibly a lot), since the dissociation of sulfuric acid in water is exothermic.


What happens to zinc if it is put in hydrofloric acid?

Zinc will get dissolved due to its high reactivity and giving out hydrogen gas. But if Zinc will be dissolved in Nitric acid, it will not give out hydrogen gas.

What happens when you put magnesium in a base?

Magnesium does not seem to react with dilute aqueous alkalis or bases. However, it does react with acids like sulfuric acid by dissolving in it.


What happens when you put a metal in sulfuric acid?

When you put a metal inside sulphuric acid, the metal quickly displaces the hydrogen and forms respective metal sulphate and hydrogen gas is liberated. But this happens in the case of reactive metals only. In case of Mercury, Copper, Silver, Gold And Platinum no reaction occurs.
