Why do the reactants Zinc and HCL(hydrochloric acid) indicate the reaction of Single Displacement?

Respuesta :

 the reactant Zinc and HCl  indicate  the single  displacement  because

zinc  metal displaces  hydrogen from HCl to form   hydrogen  gas and  zinc chloride.


Explanation

A  single  displacement   reaction is type of reaction in which element  react  with  compound  and take the place of another  element  in that compound.

When Zn  react  with HCl ,  Zn (an element)  displaces H  from Hcl (compound) to  H₂ gas  and ZnCl₂ according to equation  below


Zn  +2 HCl→ znCl₂  +H₂
