Chemical Reaction and Solution Formation

What is the product that is dissolved in solution in the given reaction?

A. Zinc chloride

B. ZnCl2

C. H2

Answer:

The product that is dissolved in solution in the given reaction is Zinc chloride (ZnCl2).

When we talk about chemical reactions, it is important to understand the states of the substances involved. In the reaction provided, ZnCl2 is represented as (aq) which means it is dissolved in solution. This notation signifies that Zinc chloride is present in the form of an aqueous solution.

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)

In this reaction, ZnCl2 is the substance that is dissolved in solution, while H2 is in the form of gas (g) and Zn is in solid state (s). When a substance is soluble in the solution, it is denoted by (aq) in chemical reaction equations.

Therefore, in the given reaction, Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is the product that is dissolved in solution.
