Which of the following is a balanced equation for the reaction of Zinc with Sulfuric Acid?
A$Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2$
B$Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow ZnS + O_4 + H_2$
C$2Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow Zn_2SO_4 + H_2$
D$Zn + 2H_2SO_4 \rightarrow Zn(SO_4)_2 + 2H_2$
✓ Correct Answer: A — $Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4 + H_2$
Zinc is divalent and displaces the two hydrogen atoms from sulfuric acid in a 1:1 molar ratio.
