Question

A displacement reaction takes place when calcium is placed in a solution of zinc chloride. Which substances will most likely be produced by the reaction? Ca + ZnCl2 → ?

Answer 1

When calcium reacts with zinc chloride, it leads to the formation of calcium chloride and zinc.

Explanation:

• The reactants involved in the given reaction are Calcium and Zinc chloride.
• It is a displacement reaction, because Zinc in zinc chloride is replaced by the copper and forms copper chloride and zinc is eliminated.
• Thus the reaction occurring is as follows

$Ca+ZnCl_2\rightarrow CaCl_2+Zn$

• In the above reaction, zinc is reduced by gaining two electrons, whereas copper is oxidized by gaining the two electrons.
• This in reactants, zinc chloride is considered as oxidizing agent whereas Calcium is considered as a reducing agent.
