Question

Consider the reaction below. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) mc029-1.jpg H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) Which product is a substance that is dissolved in solution?

Answer 1

Zinc chloride, ZnCl2, is dissolved in solution. That is why the state symbol is (aq).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid state is represented by (s) in a chemical reaction equation whereas when a compound is soluble in the solution then it is said to be aqueous solution and it is denoted as (aq) in a chemical reaction equation.

On the other hand, gas is denoted by a symbol (g) in the chemical reaction equation.

Therefore, in the reaction
`Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow H_(2)(g) + ZnCl_(2)(aq)`, zinc chloride (
`ZnCl_(2)`) product is a substance that is dissolved in solution.
