What is the balanced net ionic equation for: Zn(s) + HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 1

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) ... balanced molecular equation

Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ==> Zn²⁺(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + H₂(g) ... balanced ionic equation

Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) ==> Zn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g) ... BALANCED NET IONIC EQUATION

Answer 2

The balanced equation would be:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
