Question

Write an ionic equation for the reaction of zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid, include state symbols.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When zinc reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, it is a metal-acid reaction to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

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

Ionic equation:

Zn2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) => ZnCl2 (aq)
