Question

Write out the balanced equation of sulfuric acid reacting with zinc metal. Hint: The Zn will end up with a +2 charge. What positive ion can get reduced? # sulfuric acid,a + # Zn (s) productLs ate) + # product2(state) (ag) + Fill in the equation above, where "#" is the stoichiometry (enter a number, even if it is one); "sulfuric acid" and "product" are the respective chemical formulas, including any formal charges; and "state" is the physical state The chemicals "product1" and "product2" must be listed in alphabetical order in terms of their chemical formula

Explanation / Answer

Sulfuric acid react with zinc metal to gives znic sulfate and hydrogen gas.

H2SO4(aq) +Zn(s)----------------> ZnSO4(aq) +H2(g)

2H^+(aq) +SO4^2-(aq) +Zn(s)----------------> Zn^+2(aq)+SO4^2-(aq) +H2(g)

Removal of spectator ions to get net ionic equation

2H^+(aq) +Zn(s)----------------> Zn^+2(aq)+H2(g)   net ionic equation
