Uses Zinc (Zn) is one of the most common elements in the Earth s crust. Metal zinc was first produced in India and China during the Middle Ages. Industrially important compounds of zinc are zinc chloride (ZnCl2), zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc stearate (Zn (Ci6H3502)2), and zinc sulfide (sphalerite, ZnS). It is found in air, soil, and water, and is present in all foods. Pure zinc is a bluish-white shiny metal. Zinc has many commercial uses, as coatings to prevent rust, in dry cell batteries, and mixed with other metals to make alloys like brass and bronze. Zinc combines with other elements to form zinc compounds. Zinc compounds are widely used in industry to make paint, rubber, dye, wood preservatives, and ointments.109-112... [Pg.79]
