2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
1. give equation
aHCl(aq) + bZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + cH₂S(g)
2. make an equation
H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c(eq 1)
Cl, left=a, right=2⇒a=2⇒c=1(from eq 1)
Zn, left=b, right=1⇒b=1
So the equation :
2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
I think the answer is <span>PCl5 + 4H2O → 5HCl + H3PO4

Answer:
C
Explanation:
looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium
Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)
Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.
This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions
