Let us use hydrochloric acid and see.
Zn + 2HCl - ZnCl2 + H2
Looks like hydrogen gas is released.

What metal is left when zinc reacts with sulfuric acid?
This reaction yields zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
Which metal reacts to give zinc sulphate with sulfuric acid?
gold and platinum
Which of the following is a chemical property of hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc metal to produce hydrogen gas, zinc chloride, and heat.
How is hydrogen gas made when a metal reacts with a acid?
Acids contain hydrogen. When an acid reacts with a metal it displaces the hydrogen, taking its place in the acid. For example, this is how zinc (a metal) will react with hydrochloric acid. Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
What happens when zinc reacts with phosphoric acid?
When zinc reacts with phosphoric acid, hydrogen is evolved and zinc phosphate is formed.
Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid?
yes, with the formation of zinc chloride - ZnCl2.

Does zinc reacts with the acid?
Yes it does. It is a reactive metal and displaces hydrogen from the acids to give a zinc salt and hydrogen gas.
What happens when zinc reacts with phosphoric acid?
When zinc reacts with phosphoric acid, hydrogen is evolved and zinc phosphate is formed.
What reacts with sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas?
A metal (below hydrogen in E.C.S.) as Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid and produces hydrogen gas.
What metal reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid?
either potassium, sodium, zinc, iron or copper !
Why only zinc amongst metal reacts with base?
it is a amphoteric metal and it can react with both acid and base. amphoteric metal shows properties of both acid and base
Zn plus 2HCl ZnCl2 plus H2 How many grams of hydogen gas are produced when 120.0g of zinc metal completely reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Approximately 240g of hydrogen gas are produced when 120.0g of zinc metal completely reacts with hydrochloric acid.
Why does NaOH react with zinc metal?
Zn is a semi metal and reacts with acid as well as with alkali. Zn + 2NaOH ---------> Na2ZnO2 + H2
