Question

What kind of reaction is this?
$ZnO+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to ZnS{{O}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}O$
A. Dissociation reaction.
B. Combination reaction.
C. Neutralization reaction.
D. Ionization reaction.

Answer 1

During the process of a chemical reaction the substances that react are known as reactants whereas the substances that are formed during a chemical reaction are known by the name products. Chemical reactions can take place under some conditions. There are many types of chemical reactions.

Complete step by step answer:
To find out the kind of given reaction let's discuss the reactions given in the option turn by turn
Dissociation reaction: Dissociation reaction is a reaction in which an ion or compound is dissociated into two or more ions or compounds. It may also be known as decomposition reaction which is exactly the opposite of composition reaction. Given reaction is not of this type.
Combination reaction: Reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product is known as combination reaction. In this given reaction we have two compounds in the product so this option is also not to be considered.
Neutralization reaction: These are those reactions in which an acid and a base react with each other and generally form salt and water as a product. In the given reaction this option is true as $ZnO$is basic in nature and react with ${{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}$ which is acid and form salt i.e. $ZnS{{O}_{4}}$ and ${{H}_{2}}O$ as a product.
Ionization reaction: These are those reactions in which a compound dissociates into positively and negatively charged ions.

Hence option C is the correct answer.

Note: Chemical equations can also be defined as the symbolic representation which is in the form of symbols and formulas of a chemical reaction In this type of reactions reactant compounds are present on the left-hand side while the product entities are present on the right-hand side.
