  • Zinc Chloride Production: Reaction of Zinc Oxide and Hydrochloric Acid
    The salt produced from zinc oxide (ZnO) plus hydrochloric acid (HCl) is zinc chloride (ZnCl₂).

    Here's the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:

    ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂O

    This is a classic acid-base reaction where:

    * Zinc oxide (ZnO) acts as a base.

    * Hydrochloric acid (HCl) acts as an acid.

    * Zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) is the salt formed.

    * Water (H₂O) is the other product.
