Question

zinc react with hydrochloric acid the reaction is ___ reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zinc react with hydrochloric acid the reaction is Displacement reaction reaction​

Explanation:

Displacement reaction:

• When an atom or group of atoms in a molecule are replaced by another atom, this is referred to as a displacement reaction.
• For example: copper metal is displaced when iron is added to a solution of copper sulphate.
• A + B . C = A .C + B
• The above equation remains true , when A is more reactive than B.
• Both metal and non metals are included in displacement reaction

The given reactions is

zinc react with hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen

The reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid is

$Zn + 2HCl - > ZnCl_{2} +H_{2}$

Zinc   + Hydrochloric acid - > Zinc chloride  + Hydrogen

This reaction is known as single replacement reaction.

In this reaction zinc metal displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride

Final answer:

The given reaction form zinc chloride and hydrogen and it undergoes a displacement reaction.
