Predict the products​

1. No reaction.

2. ZnCl₂ + H₂

3. CaCl₂ + H₂

Explanation:

1. Cu + HCl —> ___

From the reactivity series of metals, H is higher that Cu in the series and so, Cu can not displace H from solution.

Therefore, no reaction will occur.

2. Zn + HCl —> ___

Zn is higher than H in the activity series so, it will displace H from acid solution to produce hydrogen gas, H₂.

The balanced equation is given below:

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl₂ + H₂

3. Ca + HCl —> ___

Ca is higher than H in the activity series so, it will displace H from acid solution to produce hydrogen gas, H₂.

The balanced equation is given below:

Ca + 2HCl —> CaCl₂ + H₂
