Question

Which is the correct complete ionic equation for the reaction of

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) + H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)

In writing an ionic equation, only the aqueous compounds dissociates into ions. This means HCl and ZnCl2 would dissociate to form ions.

This is given as;

2H+  +  2Cl-  + Zn(s) --> H2(g) + Zn2+  + 2Cl-

The correct option is;

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
