The chemical equation Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂ is an example of a:

Question

Accepted Answer

A. {'text': 'Displacement reaction'}

1. In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element pushes out a less reactive element from its compound (AB + C → CB + A).
2. Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen, so it displaces hydrogen from sulphuric acid.
3. The products are zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas.
4. Hence the reaction is a **displacement reaction**.
