Can zinc displace sodium from sodium hydroxide. Can any reaction will take place. |
|
Answer» This reaction happens only for some metals like Zn and Aluminium. It gives a complex compound and H2 gas. With Aluminium, compound formed is NaAlO2 No because sodium is highly reactive than zinc..so zinc will not displace sodium No, because, sodium is upper in activity series than zinc Zinc will react with Sodium Hydroxide to from Sodium Zincate. In this reaction Zinc will not displace sodium from sodium hydroxide, but will displace Hydrogen as shown below:This reaction is accompanied by evolution of Hydrogen gas. |
