What gas (or gases) results from the following chemical reactions?

1. sulfuric acid + sodium bicarbonate --> ?

2. sulfuric acid + zinc --> ?

3. sulfuric acid + sodium acetate --> ?

This is for an Intro Chem Lab, so the answer need not be in equation form.

Thanks!

Here's one, easily found if you enter "chemical formulae" in a web search

1 2 NaHCO3 + H2SO4 ––> Na2SO4 + 2 H2O + 2 CO2

colbtech, I think that's a little too involved.

Redneck, have you learnt the basic acid reactions yet? For instance:

Acid + salt -->

Acid + base -->

Acid + metal -->

?
