Based on the chemical equation, to balance the given equation we should use 2 as a coefficients of HCl on reacatnt side of the reaction.
<h3>What is balanced equation?</h3>
Balanced chemical equations are those equation in which each entities are present in same amount on reactant side as well as on the product side of the chemical reaction.
Given chemical reaction is:
Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
In the above reaction equation is not balanced as number of chlorine and hydrogen atoms are not equal on both sides, so balanced equation will be:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
Hence we add 2 as a coefficient of HCl to balance the equation.
