and solid zinc .

Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

Answer 1

HCl (aq)   +   Zn (s)    -------------->   ZnCl2 (aq)    +   H2 (g)

balanced chemical equation :

2 HCl (aq)   +   Zn (s)    -------------->   ZnCl2 (aq)    +   H2 (g)

Explanation :

here aqueous hydrochloric acid reacts with solid zinc metal to produce Aqueous zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

aqueous hydrochloric acid + hydrogen gas --------------> Aqueous zinc chloride + hydrogen gas.
