Do zinc reacts with hydrochloric acids?

Answer 1

Zinc (Zn) is a metal and Hydrocloric acid (HCl) is an acid, it's as simple as that. In chemistry, it is an accepted rule, that Acid+Metal --> Hydrogen gas + Salt. So in this case your reaction will result in the products of H2 (gas) and 2ZnCL.

Zn+ is a cation, which will react by taking an electronfrom Cl- (an anion), creating the salt. The 2 remaining H atoms will covalently bond and become hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Yes it does, quite vigorously and it gives off hydrogen gas.

Zn(s) + 2HCl --> Zn2+(aq) + H2(g) + 2 Cl-(aq)

Answer 3

Yes, zinc (zn) does react with hydrochloric acid (Hcl) to form the product zinc chloride and hydrogen gas which is given off. The chemical formula is: zn + 2Hcl --> zncl2 + h2

Answer 4

zinc sulfate will react with hydrochloric acid to give zinc chloride and sulpher dioxide

Answer 5

Yes. When Zn is added to HCl it forms H2 gas and ZnCl

Answer 6

Zn + 2HCl >> ZnCl2 + H2

How dilute? HCl is strong acid, so the above reaction seems plausible.

Answer 7

Yes,

Zn(s) + 2HCl --> Zn2+(aq) + H2(g) + 2 Cl-(aq)

Answer 8

The zinc will react with the chlorine in the acid, creating zinc chloride and liberating hydrogen gas. The process is exothermic and creates heat.
