Answer:

ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂O

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction between zinc oxide (ZnO) and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is:

ZnO + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂O

Now we'll procede to balance the equation:

There is 1 Cl atom on the left side and 2 on the right, so we change that:

ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂O

The number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides, so the equation is now balanced.

Draw cross diagram showing formation of Calcium Chloride

Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

First I'm going to draw the structure of the neutral calcium atom and the structure of the chlorine atom.

Now I'm going to draw only the valence shells of ions that participate in ionic bonding:

So Ca2+ will donate 2 electrons for both 2 atoms of Chlorine, forming CaCl2.
