The gaseous product in this reaction is 'hydrogen' and the salt is zinc sulfate.
When sulphuric acid is added to zinc granules , the gas produced is hydrogen gas. Zinc displaces hydrogen from sulphuric acid.
the test tube which holds the zinc becomes hot , the zinc turns into zinc chloride and hydrogen gas is produced. It is a chemical change.
Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2 zinc sulfate
zinc carbonate + sulphuric acid = zinc sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
Zinc react with sulfuric acid: zinc sulfate is obtained and hydrogen gas released. The reaction is: Zn + H2SO4 = ZnSO4 + H2
Sulphuric acid + Zinc ----> Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen H2SO4 + Zn ----> ZnSO4 + H2 (no balancing needed)
metal + acid -> metal salt + hydrogenzinc + sulphuric acid -> zinc sulphate + hydrogensee chemical equation belowIt will dissolveThe zinc will react with sulphuric acid forming zinc sulphate dissolved in solution and releasing hydrogen gas. Zn (s) + H2SO4 (aq) ---> ZnSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)When we take the test tube containing zinc and sulphuric acid near a candle or a burner, we hear a pop sound. This shows the presence of Hydrogen .Also, if we take the the test tube near a litmus paper, the color remains same. This shows that hydrogen is neither acidic nor basic in nature. It is neutral in nature.
Zinc and sulfuric acid will react to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
