How is sodium Zincate formed?

Formula: Na2ZnO2


What is the reaction of mossy zinc and sulfuric acid?

H2SO4 + Zn --> ZnSO4 + H2 It's an exothermic single-replacement reaction.


What is formed when Excess of sodium hydroxide react with zinc?

This reaction is to be carried out with Sodium hydroxide dissolved in water and Zinc oxide. The product is Sodium Tetrahydroxidozincate(2-) or Simply Sodium Zincate.ZnO + 2 NaOH + H2O ----> Na2Zn(OH)4


What is the molecular formula of potassium zincate?

K2Zn(OH)4 because valency of Zincate [Zn(OH)4] is 2 Potassium (K) is 1


A copper penny was added to a sodium hydroxide solution with granulated zinc in it and turned silver then turned gold after heating and i need to know what is the chemical equation of this reaction?

Metallic zinc dissolves in the alkaline solution, producing zincate ions and releasing hydrogen: Zn + 2OH– → ZnO2-- + H2 (visible as tiny bubbles on the surface of the zinc) You can get the same solution by adding zinc oxide to sodium hydroxide. (The zincate is probably hydrated with a couple of water molecules, but they only clutter up our equations, so we'll ignore them here.) Here's where it gets interesting: When copper is in contact with zinc* (bear with me for a few moments), in a conducting solution, an electrolytic cell is produced -- you have a battery. (In fact, you have Prof. Volta's original battery!) Electrons flow from the zinc* to the copper. At the surface of the copper coin, these electrons reduce the zincate: ZnO2-- + 2H2O + 2e- → Zn + 4OH– This produces the zinc plating you see on the coin. At the surface of the zinc*, the electrons that are being sent to the copper metal are generated by zinc dissolving to produce more zincate: Zn + 4OH– → ZnO2-- + 2H2O + 2e- Here's the cool thing: There is NO NET REACTION, but there is a net motion of zinc! The "zinc*" referred to above can be left-over zinc powder from the first step, or it can be zinc that's already built into the coin. Post-1981 US pennies, which are in fact mostly zinc with a thin copper cladding, work fine without an external zinc supply. It would seem that microscopic flaws in the cladding are necessary to let the zinc core contact the solution -- so perhaps "mint" condition pennies do need an external zinc source. (Science project, anyone?) The reaction seems at first glance to run against the electrochemical potentials of the metals, which perplexes many people. What makes it run, however, is the unseen dissolution of the metallic zinc*, which is particularly invisible in the case of a new US penny. (This is the same reaction that allows "sacrificial anodes" of zinc or magnesium to protect ship hulls against corrosion in salt water.) The experiment is more impressive, actually, with a true copper coin. Clean an old penny (1981 or earlier) by soaking it in hot vinegar until it's shiny, and drop it into the plating solution. Nothing will happen unless the penny is in contact with some zinc metal. Separate the penny from the zinc, and the plating will dissolve -- the penny returns to its original copper color. Touching the penny with a bit of zinc recreates the battery, and the zinc plating re-appears within seconds! Heating the zinc=plated penny, or just letting it sit around for several months, results in copper atoms dissolving into the zinc to produce brass - the "gold" coin is actually a brass-plated coin.

Why does sodium oxide plus zinc give sodium zincate plus hydrogen?

It doesn't. There is no source of hydrogen atoms in the equation, and there is no zincate. Sodium oxide plus zinc produces zinc oxide plus sodium. Na2O + Zn ---> ZnO + 2Na

What happens when you add zinc dust to sodium hydroxide?

When you put zinc dust in sodium hydroxide solution, sodium zincate and hydrogen are formed. Zn + 2 H2O + 2 NaOH → Na2Zn(OH)4 + H2


What is the balanced equation for KOH plus Zn?

This answer balances a theoretical reaction that does not occur in nature. 2KOH + Zn -> Zn(OH)2 + 2K Zn actually dissolves in strong base to form a so called "zincate" which was traditionally gven the formula of ZnO22- . It is now recognised that these zincate ions are hydrated to various degrees and one such ion is (Zn(OH)4)2- . Zn + 2KOHaq -> K2ZnO2aq +H2


What happen when zinc granules are add to NaOH?

In this case sodium zincate is formed.


What is the chemical reaction when zinc is heated with caustic soda solution?

Zn does not reacts with water ...Elementary zinc does not react with water molecules. The ion does form a protective, water insoluble zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2) layer with dissolved hydroxide ions, according to the following reaction mechanism:Zn2+ + 2OH- ---> Zn(OH)2(s)it only reacts with boiling water forming zinc hydroxide and hydrogen...Zn + 2H2O ==> Zn(OH)2 + H2Its fairly nonreactive.Zn hardly reacts with cold water.It does however react with steam (heated water) to produce zinc oxide and hydrogen gas:Zn (s) + H2O (l) --> ZnO (s) + H2 (g)


What reaction does Zinc chloride have when mixed with water?

The Zn2+ ion is hydrated and forms an acidic solution. A 10M solution has a pH of 1. Chlorohydroxy zincate ions are formed and a very simplified equation would be :- ZnCl2 +4H2O -> ZnCl2(OH)2 + 2OH3+ the situation is more complex than shown above - depending on the molarity of the solution different zincate species predominate. The solubility of ZnCl2 in water is epic, 400 g in a 100 ml of water.


What is the valency of zincate?

Zinc has a valency of 2. It is represented by the symbol Zn.
