A single-replacement reaction
The reaction Zn + CuCl2 --> Cu + ZnCl2 is a single-replacement reaction.
The reaction between copper (Cu) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2) is a single displacement reaction. This is because the copper replaces the hydrogen in HCl to form CuCl2.
Zn + 2 HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 is a single displacement reaction where zinc displaces hydrogen in hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
The reaction between copper (Cu) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a single displacement reaction, where the copper displaces hydrogen from the acid to form copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction can be represented as: 2HCl + Cu -> CuCl2 + H2.
CuCl2 is a type II compound. In type II compounds, the cation can have multiple oxidation states, and the charge of the cation must be determined from the compound's formula. CuCl2 contains copper in the +2 oxidation state.
The reaction Zn + CuCl2 --> Cu + ZnCl2 is a single-replacement reaction.
This is a single displacement reaction, where zinc (Zn) replaces sodium (Na) in sodium chloride (NaCl) to form zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and sodium (Na) metal. The reaction is also known as a displacement or substitution reaction.
The reaction between copper (Cu) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2) is a single displacement reaction. This is because the copper replaces the hydrogen in HCl to form CuCl2.

To balance the equation Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 + H2, you need to ensure that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation. To balance it, you would need to write it as Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2. This equation balances the number of zinc, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms on both sides.
this is an exotermic reaction
Displacement reaction
This is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
A double replacement reaction.
This is an double-displacement reaction, in this case and acid-base reaction.
