Does the zinc and sulphuric acid reaction neutralise the acid?

Firstly, according to me, this is not a kind of NEUTALISATION REACTION 'cause:- Neutralisation can happen only between an acid and an alkali. read more

Zinc reacts with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and diatomic hydrogen gas. While the sulfuric acid may be used up in the reaction, no neutralization is taking place. Therefore it is not comparable to neutralizing the acid with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. read more

When a sample of zinc powder is added to a solution of sulfuric acid (1 mole solution for a reaction that can be observed instantly), zinc sulfate and. read more

Sulfuric acid does not really give fumes ( though mists are nasty) but HNO3 can, especially if it comes in contact with other reactive materials (e.g. aluminum equipment). Zinc will neutralize in a fashion by generating hydrogen which may catch fire. read more
