Question

balance the equation Zn+HNO3‐------Zn(NO3)2+H2​

Answer 1

Explanation:

2HNO3 + Zn = Zn(NO3 )2 + H2

Answer 2

Answer:

2HNO3 + Zn = Zn(NO3)2 + H2

Explanation:

Word equation: Nitric acid + Zinc → Zinc nitrate + Hydrogen gas

Type of Chemical Reaction: For this reaction we have a single displacement reaction.

Balancing Strategies: Reacting HNO3 and Zn will produce Zn(NO3) + H2 when using dilute HNO3.

Note that the "2" in Zn(NO3)2 applies to both the N and O3 in the parenthesis
