Best Answer

Zn alone is a reducing agent because it donates electrons during a reaction and H2SO4 alone is an oxidizing agent because it may donates atomic oxygen during the reaction but (Zn + H2SO4) mixture is a reducing agent because this mixture may produce atomic hydrogen during a reaction.

Zn plus H2SO4---- ZnSO4 plus H2?

This is a single replacement reaction. The zinc replaces the copper in the sulfate compound. In general, if a reaction occurs between a metal and metal-nonmetal (ionic) compound, the two metals will "switch."

NaCl doesn't react with KNO3.NaCl + AgNO3 = NaNO3 + AgCl(s)NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2ONa2CO3 + 2 HCl = 2NaCl + CO2 + H2OBaCl2 + H2SO4 = BaSO4(s) + 2 HClCuSO4 and Zn(NO3)2 doesn't react.
