When zinc oxide (ZnO) is mixed with vinegar, which contains acetic acid (CH₃COOH), a chemical reaction occurs. The acetic acid reacts with zinc oxide to form zinc acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas, which may be observed as bubbles. This reaction highlights zinc oxide's amphoteric nature, as it can react with both acids and bases. The end result is a solution containing dissolved zinc acetate.

What will happen if you mix vinegar with water?

Nothing will happen to the penny unless kept under vinegar for a very long time.Vinegar is acetic acid but, is a weak acid.Therefore,the property of acid to liberate hydrogen when an active metal is put in it or reacted with it will also be weak. A penny made of ,say copper is not a so very active metal.Therfore it will be time taking for it to react.If it does react ,then there will be a green/blue precipitate seen in the solution,due to formation of copper acetate.
