Solution

Chemical properties of Hydrochloric acid.
Action of Hydrochloric acid on metals: Hydrochloric acid reacts with metals which are placed above the hydrogen in the activity series and forms metal chlorides and Hydrogen.
Example: When Hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ is added to iron filings/iron $(F e)$ , it displaces hydrogen from Hydrochloric acid as iron is present above the hydrogen in the activity series and forms Iron chloride $({FeCl}_{2})$ and Hydrogen gas $(H_{2})$ .
$Fe (s) + 2 HCl (g) \overset{∆}{\to}$ ${FeCl}_{2} (s) + H_{2} (g)$

So products of the reaction are Iron chloride and Hydrogen gas.
