Answer:
Zn + HCl = H2 + ZnCl2
It is a single displacement reaction where -
Zinc is oxidised (it becomes positive) and water is neutralized. It is a reduction-oxidation reaction where one of the reactants loses oxygen and the other one gains.
So, answering your question, we get hydrogen gas and a salt.
Hydrogen gas, is identified by exposing it to a burning flame. It explodes (a bit,) with a pop sound. This is because Hydrogen is highly explosive.
