Question

Question 11 of 16 If a reaction occurs, what will be the products of the unbalanced reaction below? Zn(s) + HCl(aq) The Activity Series of Elements A. ZnH(s) + Cl2(9) OB. No reaction will occur. O C. HZnCl(s) O D. ZnCl2(s) + H2(9)

Answer 1

When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride and hydrogen gas will be produced.

i.e.,

`Zn(s)+\text{HCl(aq)}\rightarrow ZnCl_2(s)+H_2(g)`

Hence the correct answer is option D.
