(N/A) $Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$
$(b)$ $Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow ZnCl_{2}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$
$(c)$ $3Zn(s) + 2AlCl_{3}(aq) \rightarrow 3ZnCl_{2}(aq) + 2Al(s)$ (Zinc is more reactive than Aluminium,so it displaces it)
$(d)$ $Zn(s) + 2NaOH(aq) \rightarrow Na_{2}ZnO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$ (Formation of Sodium zincate)
$(e)$ $4Zn(s) + 10HNO_{3}(dilute) \rightarrow 4Zn(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) + NH_{4}NO_{3}(aq) + 3H_{2}O(l)$
