Zinc pH is in the 5 to 6 range
0.7
low pH
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.
Zinc is the full name of the metal. Zinc is an transition element, proton number 30, Relative atomic mass about 65. However, there are loads of possible zinc compounds (zinc chemically tied to something else) such as Zinc chloride, zinc sulphate, zinc nitrate...
Zinc is obtained from zinc blende/sphalerite ore (zinc sulphide)
Zinc hasn't a pH.
The pH of zinc sulfate water solution is approx. 4,5.
It will raise the pH.
0.7
The zinc nitrate solution is acidic.
low pH
I measured a ZnO (Zinc Oxide) solution to be slightly basic with a pH of 7.69 in lab yesterday. Zinc Oxide is not something that dissolves in water, so it should not change the waters normal pH of 7. The solution I measured contained small suspended particles.
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.
When anything is neutralized, the pH value moves closer to 7. In addition, when a weak acid is being neutralized, a buffer is also being formed, until all the weak acid has been converted to the salt.
Galvanised = metal (iron, steels) protected with a layer of zinc Alkanized = water or a solution with a pH greater than 7
Think zinc.Zinc is the way to think.
