Question

What most likely occurred during this demonstration?

In a science demonstration, a teacher mixed zinc (Zn)
with hydrogen chloride (HCI) in a flask and quickly
attached a balloon over the mouth of the flask Bubbles
formed in the solution and the balloon inflated,
O The Zn and HCl both retained their identity
Either Zn or HCI, but not both, retained its identity
O Evaporation of one of the substances occurred
One or more new substances formed

Answer 1

Hydrogen gas and a salt formed at the end of the reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen Gas has formed which inflated the balloon

Usually, metals and acids react to form a salt and Hydrogen Gas.

Here's what happened:

Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq) →
`ZnCl_2`(aq) +
`H_2`(g)

Cheers :)

Answer 2

One or more new substances formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a chemical property because bubbles formed, and the mixture produced a gas which allowed the balloon to inflate. The production of bubbles is an indicator of a chemical change. When a chemical change occurs, one or more new substances form as a result.
