Reaction of Zinc and Hydrochloric acid

In this video, we'll be exploring the reaction between zinc metal and hydrochloric acid. The equation for this reaction is Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 + H2. As the reaction proceeds, you'll notice bubbles forming, which is hydrogen gas (H2) being released. We can capture these bubbles and test them by lighting a flame to see the characteristic pop sound of burning hydrogen gas.

In the reaction, zinc chloride, which is one of the products of the reaction, stays dissolved in water. Zinc chloride is an aqueous solution that remains dissolved in water due to its water-soluble nature. This reaction is a classic example of a single replacement reaction, where a more reactive metal, in this case, zinc, replaces a less reactive metal, hydrogen.

thanks for all your "How to Write the Formula" vidoes, it really helps for my chemistry work and helps me understand how to write the formulas on my own

Hey!!
Nice that your channel is expanding from just text to real reactions!

Do more!!!!

Awesome. Sir it is a huge request to make a brief video on a 3-electron bond(where we represent 3 electrons above a covalent bond like in the case of NO) which is somewhat mentioned in Linus Pauling's book.And if possible do consider the Singlet linkage theory

Thats sick Dr. B I'm a 8th graders and I love watching practicals

[thiccboidexter]

Thank Dr. B! I'm having my chemistry exam today and video experiment will come in clutch.

I am watching from Bangladesh.🇧🇩
Thanks for showing it so directly

Thanks Dr. B!😊
I got a B+ because of you :)

👍🏻 nice! So if i check a solubility table, i should see that H an Cl are soluble in in H2O?

Does Clemmensen reduction require amalgamation of zinc with mercury salt?

I used as flux for iron soldering on aluminium

What is the colour of ZnCl2 after reaction??

How concentrated does the HCl need to be? I'm trying to get a piece of zinc stuck in my graphite crucible out and toilet bowl cleaner (9.5%) hardly moved it.
