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.

No. When water first begins to cool down, it contracts. However, as it gets colder and eventually freezes, it begins to expand.
You can test this by freezing water in a water bottle: when you take it out of the freezer, the cap might have popped off or cracks may have formed in the sides of the bottle.
Answer: Water expands when frozen, not contracts.
