Question

balance chemical equation zn+hcl=zncl2+h2

please give accurate answer..i'll mark them as brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

The skeletal equation is

Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Step 1: Count the number of times an element is occurring on both LHS and RHS in this equation.

Component |   Reactant  |   Product  

Zinc                       1                 1

Chlorine                1                 2

Hydrogen             1                 2

 

This is an unbalanced equation.

Step 2: Let’s balance the equation by multiplying HCl on the reactant side by 2.

 

The balanced equation is  

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

∴ Number of atoms of each element of reactants = Number of atoms of each element of products
