The reaction between metal and a base results in salt formation and the evolution of Hydrogen gas (H2). Zinc (Zn) is a metal and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a base.
When  Zn metal is added to NaOH, it results in the formation of Sodium zincate (Na2ZnO2) salt along with Hydrogen gas. The reaction between Zinc and Sodium hydroxide is:
Zn(s)+2NaOH(aq) Na2ZnO2 (aq) + H2 (g)

When Zinc reacts with Sodium hydroxide, the products formed are Sodium zincate and Hydrogen gas.
