Why does sodium oxide plus zinc give sodium zincate plus hydrogen?

It doesn't. There is no source of hydrogen atoms in the equation, and there is no zincate. Sodium oxide plus zinc produces zinc oxide plus sodium.
Na2O + Zn ---> ZnO + 2Na

What is an element give 2 examples?
Hydrogen, oxygen, calcium or sodium
What is strange about the metal sodium?
The metal sodium at solid state is so much reactive that it readily oxidises itself with atmospheric oxygen and burns to give sodium oxide.
What part of sodium hydrochloric acid is responsible for making hydrogen?
There is no such thing as Sodium Hydrochloric acid, but if you react Sodium metal with Hydrochloric acid, you will release hydrogen. The hydrogen comes from hydrochloric acid, which is HCl (hydrogen chloride.) Sodium is Na, just a pure element without any hydrogen in it. 2Na + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2 (gas) You don't need HCl to make hydrogen gas. Just tossing the sodium into water will release plenty of hydrogen (and some flames) and give a solution of sodium hydroxide in the water.
Is sodium oxide a non polar or a polar bond?
Being an "Oxide" it has 1 extra electron that it will give up. Being negative in charge it is a negative polarity. A Polar bond.
Is zinc unreactive to water?
Zinc is unreactive to cold water, but will react with steam to give zinc oxide and hydrogen.
What reactants would give sodium chloride plus hydrogen?
Sodium with HCl gives NaCl and H2 2Na + 2HCl -> 2NaCl + H2
When sodium is obtained great care is taken to prevent air coming into contact with sodium Give a reason for this?
Sodium is easily oxidised, contact with the air will form a thin layer of Sodium Oxide over its surface, which would be considered an impurity.
Can give di sodium hydrogen citrate in urinary tract itching and burning symptoms?
use of disodium hydrogen citrate in urinary tract infection
Why does baking soda break down when heated?
Bakinf Soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bi-carbonate. (NaHCO3) All carbonates under go thermal decomposition.
The difference between ketones and carboxylic acids when reacting with sodium hydrogen carbonate?
The Difference between ketones and carboxylic acids when reacting with sodium hydrogen carbonate is that carboxlic acids give off caron dioxide when a sloution is added to little sodium hydrogen carbonate (or carbonate) solid or solution whereas ketone has no apparent reaction with the carbonate.
What gas is given off when calcium is mixed with water?
The calcium metal will react with the water to form calcium oxide and give off Hydrogen gas.
What has the scientific formula H20?
H2O is Water. In it universally recognised, in science and elsewhere, as water . NOT 'Dihydrogen monoxide. hydrogen monoxide, dihydrogen oxide'. Different languages around the world give it different names e.g. l'eau (French) , wasser (German) , agua (Spanish) etc.,
