What happens when you put zinc in hydrochloric acid?

Answer 1

What happens??? It reacts!!!!

You will see effervescence(bubbles) of hydrogen gas being liberates, and the zinc metal slowly disappearing.

Here is the Balanced reaction eq'n

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) .

Answer 2

Zn + 2 HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

Effervescence is observed, due to the production of hydrogen gas.

The zinc dissolves.

And no, there is no colour changes. The solution remains colourless.

Answer 3

It bubbles and creates zinc chloride and hydrogen.
The zinc chloride, ZnCl2 is formed.

Answer 4

Zinc + Hydrochloric acid ----> Zinc chloride + Hydrogen

Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Answer 5

when zinc granules are put in dilute hydrochloric acid we can see that bubbles arise .these bubbles are hydrogen gas.

Answer 6

Hydrogen gas is produced (seen through fizzing) and Zinc is oxidised to zinc ions forming a salt ZnCl2

Answer 7

Let's see.

Zn + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

You get the reaction above, which produces a salt, zinc chloride, and hydrogen gas.

Answer 8

It forms ZnCl2 and H2.Chemical fomula is Zn+HCl--->ZnCl2+H2

Answer 9

The gas emitted is Hydrogen.
