Citric acid causes two chemical reactions with zinc- oxidation and reduction. Oxidation is where the acid removes the two electrons on the outer energy shell of each zinc atom. Reduction is where the hydrogen ions in the citric acid accept the electrons being released by the oxidation reaction and form the hydrogen gas. Hope this helps :)

Does tin react with citric acid?
Tin can not only react with citric acid, it can react with any acid.
Does Citric Acid react with Zinc If so what is the reaction between Citric Acid and Zinc Metal?
When zinc comes into contact with citric acid, it starts two chemical reactions.In one reaction, called oxidation, the acid begins to remove the zinc atoms from the zinc. Two electrons are then removed from each zinc atom, giving the zinc atom a positive charge of two.The other reaction, called reduction, focuses on the positively charged hydrogen atoms, or hydrogen ions, in the citric acid near the screw.These ions accept electrons released by the oxidation reaction and from hydrogen gas.wat r u saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
