Answer:

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

Explanation:

The first information says the following:

Zn2 (s) + HCl (aq)

Now zinc replaces hydrogen and forms zinc chloride and hydrogen gas

Zn2 (s) + HCl (aq) -> ZnCl2 (aq) + H (g) (sine chlorine has a formal charge of -1 and zinc is +2, you would need two chlorine to balance charge)

Now all there's left is to balance:

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

s = solid

aq = aqueous

g = gas
