A.
Zinc heated to redness reacts with steam to give oxygen and zinc oxide
B.
Zinc heated to redness reacts with steam to give oxygen and hydrogen
C.
Zinc does not react with hot or cold water
D.
Zinc reacts with hot water to form zinc oxide and hydrogen
E.
Zinc reacts very easily with cold water to give zinc oxide and hydrogen
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Zinc metal (Zn) reacts with steam (H\(_2\)O) at high temperatures, resulting in the formation of zinc oxide (ZnO) and the release of hydrogen gas (H\(_2\)).
The chemical equation for this reaction is: Zn(s) + H\(_2\)O(g) → ZnO(s) + H\(_2\)(g)
