Roy · Answer 1

single displacement reaction

Explanation:

HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

From the equation, we see clearly that Zn displaces H from HCl. This is because, Zn is higher than hydrogen in the activity series. Therefore, the reaction is a single displacement reaction

HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)what's the reaction

HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
