Solution:

  1. The balanced chemical reaction of zinc with sulphuric acid and $NaOH$ are

$$ Zn+H _2 SO _4 \longrightarrow ZnSO _4+H _2(g) \uparrow $$

$Zn+2 NaOH+2 H _2 O \longrightarrow Na _2\left[Zn(OH) _4\right]+H _2(g) \uparrow$

Since, one mole of $H _2(g)$ is produced per mole of zinc with both sulphuric acid and $NaOH$ respectively, hydrogen gas is produced in the molar ratio of 1:1 in the above reactions.
