How does a base react with the metals magnesium, zinc, and iron?


Rate This Answer

When metals do react with bases, it's often the water in the basic solution that they are reacting with. Sodium Hydroxide reacts with zinc(heating) to form sodium zincate and hydrogen gas NaOH+Zn---------->Na2ZnO2+H2.
