Question & Answer (English)

What is the product formed when zinc and sulphuric acid react?

  1. Zinc oxide
  2. Zinc sulphide
  3. Zinc sulphate — Correct Answer
  4. Zinc hydroxide
Explanation:

When zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, a displacement reaction occurs. Zinc being more reactive than hydrogen displaces it from the acid.

The chemical equation is:

$$Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2$$

Here, the products formed are Zinc sulphate ($ZnSO_4$) and Hydrogen gas ($H_2$). Since Hydrogen is not in the options, the correct answer is Zinc sulphate.

प्रश्न एवं उत्तर (हिंदी)

जब जिंक और सल्फ्यूरिक एसिड अभिक्रिया करते हैं तो कौन सा उत्पाद बनता है?

  1. जिंक ऑक्साइड
  2. जिंक सल्फाइड
  3. जिंक सल्फेट — सही उत्तर
  4. जिंक हाइड्रॉक्साइड
स्पष्टीकरण:

जब जिंक ($Zn$) सल्फ्यूरिक एसिड ($H_2SO_4$) के साथ प्रतिक्रिया करता है, तो विस्थापन प्रतिक्रिया (displacement reaction) होती है।

इसका समीकरण इस प्रकार है:

$$Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2$$

इस प्रक्रिया में जिंक सल्फेट ($ZnSO_4$) और हाइड्रोजन गैस ($H_2$) बनते हैं। इसलिए सही उत्तर जिंक सल्फेट है।
