Hi!
The correct option would be A.
This is because the displacement reaction would take place as follows
Ca + ZnCl2 --> CaCl2 + Zn
A displacement reaction is one in which a substitution occurs, as the more reactive element in the mixture replaces one that is less reactive.
In the electrochemical series, we find Ca higher than Zn, which is indicative of Ca being more reactive, and having the capacity to displace Zn to form a compound.
Option D would be incorrect as no such substitution occurs.
Option B would be incorrect because again, there is no substitution occurring, and also because two metals alone (Ca and Zn in our case) can never react to form a compound.
Option C would be incorrect because it is not possible because CaCl and ZnCl are forms that are too unstable to exist due to an overall positive charge.
Hope this helps!
The States of Matter are classified into solid, liquid, and gas. Among these physical states, if we are going to refer to the water molecules, the one that would possess the greatest energy is gas. If you would take the energy of gas, this would become liquid. The answer is option C.
True because I had the test

Pretty much, all you need to do here is multiply all of these out to get your final answer. Not all questions are this easy, but this is certainly one of them.</span>
