The zinc would be oxidized, forming hydrogen gas and dissolving the zinc:
Zn(s) + 2 CH3COOH(aq) ---> 2 CH3COO-(aq) + Zn2+(aq) + H2(g)

What is the reaction when zinc acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid are combine?
Acetanilide
What will happen when a piece of zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?
Zinc + Hydrochloric acid is a basic metal acid reaction. When the Zinc is added to the acid, the zinc dissolves and reacts with the acid, forming hydrogen gas and the salt Zinc Chloride. These sorts of reactions (metal + acid) will always result in a salt (in this case, zinc chloride) and hydrogen gas. The observations from this experiment would be white-gray solid is added to colorless liquid. Solid dissolves and a colorless, odorless gas is formed. Zn + 2HCl -----> ZnCl2 + H2
What gas is produced when magnesium reacts with zinc?
I am assuming you are mixing Magnesium and Zinc metals with an acid which would produce Hydrogen gas.
What is the function of dilute hydrochloric acid on zinc metal and sodium carbonate?
zinc reacts with dilute HCl to form H2. This works to reduce (add Hydrogens to ) a compound
Vinegar as a source of electricity?
vinegar conducts electricity because it contains acid and salt
What color would appear when zinc reacts to acetic acid?
No specific colour only white ppts. are formed
How you can separate acetic acid from zinc methoxide?
Zinc methoxide and acetic acid react together to form methanol and zinc acetate
What happens when zinc reacts with phosphoric acid?
When zinc reacts with phosphoric acid, hydrogen is evolved and zinc phosphate is formed.
What is the reaction when zinc acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid are combine?
Acetanilide
What are the products of perchloric acid and zinc?
what are the products of perchloric acid reacting with zinc
Tell why vinegar reacts much more slower with zinc and marble chips than hydrochloric acid?
Because chalk has a higher pH scle with makes it more corrosive
What does Sulfuric acid react with in the different metals it reacts to?
It reacts with zinc to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen
What is the colour of zinc chloride when zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid?
white
What reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid?
Zinc.
What is the gas involved when zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid?
zinc sulphate
Does zinc react to a weak acid?
Yes, it reacts with zinc to give out hydrogen.
Is the reaction between zinc and acetic acid endothermic?
exothermic I believe
