The Zn2+ ion is hydrated and forms an acidic solution. A 10M solution has a pH of 1. Chlorohydroxy zincate ions are formed and a very simplified equation would be :-

ZnCl2 +4H2O -> ZnCl2(OH)2 + 2OH3+

the situation is more complex than shown above - depending on the molarity of the solution different zincate species predominate. The solubility of ZnCl2 in water is epic, 400 g in a 100 ml of water.

What does zinc plus hydrochloric acid react to give?

The products are zinc chloride and hydrogen.


What is the reaction when you mix zinc carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

You will get a positive result for hydrogen because the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid produces zinc chloride and hydrogen. The chlorine atoms from the hydrochloric acid attach to the zinc, leaving the hydrogen behind and thus, you have hydrogen.

What is the product of Zn plus HCl?

if this answers your question HCl Zn is hydrogen, cloride and zinc. Or: Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 HCl is also known hydrochloric acid. It reacts with zinc to produce Zinc Chloride (a white crystalline solid) and hydrogen gas. Zinc is also known as 'Zn'.


What is the reaction between zinc oxide and ammonium chloride on heating?

ZnO + 2 NH4Cl = ZnCl2 + 2 NH3 + H2O The oxide ion reacts as a strong base with the ammonium ion, a weak acid to generate ammonia and water. In this reaction, the zinc and chloride ions act as 'spectator ions'.
