Question

The reaction between zinc (Zn) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) produces zinc chloride (ZnCl), hydrogen (H2) gas, and heat. If more heat is removed from the reaction, how does the rate of reaction change to counter the action?

Zn + 2HCl ⇌ ZnCl2 + H2 + heat

The rate of the _____ and produces more _______


Blank 1.
Reverse Reaction Decreases
Forward Reaction Decreases
Forward Reaction Increases

Blank 2.
hydrogen chloride
zinc
zinc chloride

Answer 1

Answer:The rate of the forward reaction increase and produces more zinc chloride

Answer 2

If more heat is removed from the reaction the rate of reaction change as below to counter the action

The rate of the forward reaction increase and produces more zinc chloride

explanation

• The reaction of zinc and HCl to produce ZnCl and H2 is exothermic reaction, heat is produced as one product and by removing heat it favor forward reaction

• The position of equilibrium moves to the right since removing heat led to decrease of temperature and more zinc chloride is produced.
