Write word equations and then balanced equations for the reaction taking
place when –
(a) dilute sulphuric acid reacts with zinc granules.
Answer:
Zinc, Magnesium, Aluminium and iron are metals.
Acid reacts with Metals to form Salt and Hydrogen Gas
Acid + Metals → Salt + Hydrogen Gas
(a) Dilute Sulphuric acid reacts with Zinc granules.
Zinc + Hydrochloric acid → Zinc Sulphate + Hydrogen Gas
Zn(s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → ZnSO 4 (s) + H 2 (g)
