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

∙ 11y agoWell, 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.

Does calcite bubble when acid is placed on it?
yes
Does schist rock bubble when with hydrochloric acid?
No, schist rock does not bubble when it is placed in hydrochloric acid. Schist rock does not react with any acid.
What happens to zinc if it is put in hydrofloric acid?
Zinc will get dissolved due to its high reactivity and giving out hydrogen gas. But if Zinc will be dissolved in Nitric acid, it will not give out hydrogen gas.
What is the word equation for zinc and hydrocloric acid?
Zinc + hydrochloric acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen
Is ZnCO3 a base?
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.

If and object made from zinc was placed in dilute acid what would happen?
The zinc (Zn) would react with the acid (H+^) and would produce hydrogen gas (H2).Zn + 2H^+ ==> Zn^2+ + H2(g)
What is the word equation for zinc and hydrocloric acid?
Zinc + hydrochloric acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen
Will a copper and a zinc electrode placed in an acid solution create a current?
yes, in fact they are used for a type of Voltaic battery.
Zinc sulphate can be made in a reaction between and an acid give the name of the acid?
zinc sulphate is made of a reaction between zinc and what acid
Is ZnCO3 a base?
ZnCO3 is zinc carbonate, aka smithsonite, which is neither an acid nor a base, but rather a salt.
Nitric acid plus zinc oxide?
Nitric acid plus zinc oxideNitricoxide
Why powdered zinc reacts to form hydrogen gas faster than large pieces of zinc when both are placed in hydrochloric acid?
Powdered zinc reacts faster because it has a greater surface area than the large pieces.
What is the name of zinc and sulphuric acid?
Zinc and sulfuric acid will react to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
Balanced equation for zinc oxide and nitric acid?
zinc + nitric acid --> zinc nitrate + water and hydrogen I think...
