how does temperature affect the speed of the reaction rate between zinc and hydrochloric acid?

Question

how does temperature affect the speed of the reaction rate between zinc and hydrochloric acid? For example, does it even react when it's in cold temperatures or does it react slowly? Does the reaction speed up even faster when heated?

Answer 1

Yes, Zn will react with HCl at room temperature (and even when below room temperature), and it will react faster as the temperature is elevated.
