What type of chemical reaction is HCl + Zn → ZnCl₂ + H₂?
gpt
This is a single replacement reaction.
Explanation: In a single replacement reaction, one element displaces another element from a compound, resulting in the formation of a new compound and a new element. In this case, zinc (Zn) displaces hydrogen (H) from hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂).
