Acids and Bases react with metal to form salt and hydrogen gas.
When Acid reacts with metal- Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid.
Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) →ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)

When Base reacts with metal- when sodium hydroxide is heated with zinc.
2NaOH(aq) + Zn(s)→ Na2ZnO2(aq) + H2(g)

FINAL ANSWER-
Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) →ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)

2NaOH(aq) + Zn(s)→ Na2ZnO2(aq) + H2(g)
