Is zinc an active nonmetal?

No, zinc is not considered an active nonmetal. It is classified as a metal due to its chemical properties.


Is zinc a metal or semi metal?

Zinc is a metal. However, because with HCl it forms ZnCl2 and with NaOH it forms Na2ZnO2 it is classed as amphoteric.

Is zinc the oxidizing or reducing agent when it reacts with gold and cyanide?

Zinc (metal) does not react with gold (metal), neither with cyanide (salt).


What happens when you add NaOH solution to a solution ZnCl2?

When you add NaOH solution to a ZnCl2 solution, a precipitation reaction occurs. The hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the NaOH react with zinc ions (Zn²⁺) to form zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂), which is an insoluble white precipitate. This reaction can be represented by the equation: ZnCl₂ + 2 NaOH → Zn(OH)₂ (s) + 2 NaCl. Over time, the zinc hydroxide may further dehydrate to form zinc oxide.


What is the chemical reaction between zinc and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?

When zinc reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it forms zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). This is a double displacement reaction where the zinc ions in the zinc metal swap places with the sodium ions in the sodium hydroxide to form the products.


How does NaOH affect Zn?

NaOH can react with Zn to form zincate ions (Zn(OH)4) and hydrogen gas. This reaction can corrode or dissolve the zinc surface, especially in alkaline conditions.


What is grey metal that reacts with water?

Zinc is a grey metal that can react with water, although it does so slowly. When zinc reacts with water, it produces zinc hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


What gases in air react with zinc to make zinc carbonate?

Carbon dioxide in the air can react with zinc metal to form zinc carbonate. This reaction occurs over time as the zinc surface is exposed to air containing carbon dioxide, leading to the formation of a white powdery layer of zinc carbonate on the surface of the metal.


Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?

Yes, zinc will react with silver nitrate solution. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver, so zinc displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver metal.

Will iron and zinc chloride solution react?

Yes, iron will react with zinc chloride solution to displace zinc from the compound to form iron chloride and zinc metal. This is a displacement reaction where a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.
