Question:medium

What will be formed from the reaction: NaOH + Zn $\rightarrow$ ?

Show Hint

Amphoteric metals like zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al) can react with strong bases (like NaOH) to produce a complex salt and hydrogen gas. This is an important property distinguishing them from metals that only react with acids.
