Question

Write a balanced chemical equation, including phases, for the single displacement reaction you observed in Experiment 3. Be sure that the reaction products make sense based on your observations.

Answer 1

An example of a displacement reaction is reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Zinc granules

Zinc will dissolve while bubbles of a gas will be observed.

$Zn_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}\to\>H_{2(g)}+ZnCl_{2(aq)}$
