MAVERICK [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I will give a hypothesis. Just like a tree, when you cut a tree by its trunk, you will the rings. The rings around it represents the tree's age. So when you cut rock, the pores in the rock determine whether it is an old rock or a fossil rock.

Explanation:

The reason is, if it is limestone and it is an old rock, the pores will be slightly big and if the limestone is a fossil rock, then the pores will be bigger due to leaching or denaturing of the minerals in the rock through the ages.

When this happens, the solution will be Zinc Chloride but as it happened in a solution (the acid), the resulting Zinc Chloride salt would be in aqueous form which means that it would be a solution in water which is the other product of this reaction.

Had the zinc reacted with gaseous HCI, it would have resulted in a Zinc Chloride with no liquid in it.
