How would you know all the acid has reacted when adding zinc to sulfuric acid?

Zinc has a negative reduction potential (Eo = -0.76V) so it is favorable for zinc to be oxidized (the opposite of being reduced) under standard conditions: Zn --> Zn2+ + 2 e- Eo = +0.76V In sulfuric acid you primarily have three species present (not including the water): H+, HSO4-, and SO42-. Of these three, H+ has the highest reduction potential: 2 H+ + 2 e- --> H2 Eo = 0.00V So in the presence of H+ ions from sulfuric acid, zinc will oxide to form Zn2+: 2 H+ + Zn --> H2 + Zn2+ Eo = 0.00V + 0.76V = 0.76 V

Why do you not test sulfates with sulfuric acid?
I think it's because sulfate is the salt of sulfuric acid. They both have the same ions, therefore have no reaction. Its like adding sulfuric acid to sulfuric acid.
What happen when Iron sulphide reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
FeSO4 and Hydrogen sulphide
What is the gas formed when Mg reacted with sulfuric acid?
Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2 Hydrogen gas.
What happens when a burning matchstick is brought near the mouth of test tube in which a metal has reacted with sulfuric acid?
hgytdemu
What is the OH concentration of sulfuric acid?
That would depend on the concentration of the sulfuric acid.
What happens when copper is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.

What is the type of acid which produces a sulfate when reacted with a metal?
Sulfuric acid produces sulfates when it reacts with metals.
What happen when Iron sulphide reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
FeSO4 and Hydrogen sulphide
What will happen if sulfuric acid is added with water?
Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.
What is the gas formed when Mg reacted with sulfuric acid?
Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2 Hydrogen gas.

That would depend on the concentration of the sulfuric acid.
What is the name of H2SO4 acid?
sulfuric acid or sulphuric acid
The formula for sulfuric acid is H2SO4 A mole of sulfuric acid would have a mass of grams?
It would be 98 grams.
What is the Sulfonation process to produce dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid?
Dodycyle benzene is reacted with oleum or sulfuric acid in slow addition and strong agittation manner
What would happen if you put sulfuric acid in water?
You'd get dilute sulfuric acid. The temperature would go up (possibly a lot), since the dissociation of sulfuric acid in water is exothermic.
