Answer:
Ag(s) + 2HCl (aq) → AgCl2 + H2↑
A displacement reaction takes place between silver (Ag) and an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Silver displaces hydrogen in the compound hydrochloric acid and silver chloride is formed. As a result, a displaced molecule of hydrogen gas is produced.
