Question

Describe the reaction of zinc with sulphuric acid​

Answer 1

Reaction of Zinc with Dilute Sulphuric Acid

Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen and it displaces hydrogen from dilute acids. Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas is evolved. This is a single displacement reaction of a non-metal by a metal. ... So, this reaction is a chemical change.

Answer 2

Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and zinc sulphate. This is an example of displacement reaction of a non-metal by a metal. ... ZnSO4 is different in chemical composition and chemical properties than Zn and H2SO4 so it is a chemical change.
