Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen
while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen
from sulphuric acid while copper is not.
The reaction with zinc is:-
Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2
The reaction with copper is
Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
