Reactions
- Air (O)- Can burn if provoked in air which then creates Zr2O3
- 6 moles of HCl- No reaction
- 15 moles of HNO3- When reacting with this compound it makes Zirconium nonreactive with any other because compond or element because it alters the surface of Zirconium
- 6 moles of NaOH- No reaction
