The specific chemical reaction depends on the acid in question. Take HCl (hydrochloric acid) as an example. Zinc is higher on the activity series than hydrogen and is therefore able to participate in a single replacement reaction with HCl, effectively kicking out the hydrogen and forming an ionic bond with the chloride ion. As a result, hydrogen gas (the bubbles) is formed. The complete reaction is as follows: Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2
Zinc bubbles when placed in an acid because the acid reacts with the zinc surface to release hydrogen gas. This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction, where the zinc atoms give up electrons to the hydrogen ions in the acid, producing hydrogen gas and leaving zinc ions in solution.
Well, no. Zinc is a metal, which is a base. Acid is, well, an Acid. And, depending on the strengths of the two, Zinc usually won't fizz and bubble, much less react with acid. It also depends on the type of acid.
Zinc reacts with the acid and hydrogen is released. When a gas is released in a chemical reaction, the bubbles appear.
Because itt has to much sugar
reduction
yes
When mossy zinc is placed in dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution, a chemical reaction occurs where zinc reacts with sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. This reaction is a single displacement reaction where zinc displaces hydrogen from the acid. The resulting solution will contain zinc sulfate and bubbles of hydrogen gas will be observed.
When zinc is put in hydrofluoric acid, it reacts to form zinc fluoride and hydrogen gas. Hydrofluoric acid is a strong acid that can dissolve many metals, including zinc, through an acid-base reaction. Extreme caution should be used when handling hydrofluoric acid as it is highly corrosive and toxic.
Zinc + hydrochloric acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.
yes
No, schist rock does not bubble when in contact with hydrochloric acid because schist is a metamorphic rock composed of minerals like mica, chlorite, and quartz that do not react with acids to produce gas bubbles. Schist is typically more resistant to chemical weathering compared to other rock types like limestone or marble.

The zinc (Zn) would react with the acid (H+^) and would produce hydrogen gas (H2).Zn + 2H^+ ==> Zn^2+ + H2(g)
Zinc + hydrochloric acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen
yes, in fact they are used for a type of Voltaic battery.
zinc sulphate is made of a reaction between zinc and what acid
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.
Nitric acid reacts with zinc oxide to produce zinc nitrate and water. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2 HNO3 + ZnO → Zn(NO3)2 + H2O
Powdered zinc reacts faster because it has a greater surface area than the large pieces.
Zinc and sulfuric acid will react to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
The balanced equation for the reaction between zinc oxide (ZnO) and nitric acid (HNO3) is: ZnO + 2HNO3 -> Zn(NO3)2 + H2O
