Ravi conducted an experiment, he added dil.hydrochloric acid to zinc granules in a conical flask. Zinc chloride was formed and hydrogen was liberated. He represented the reaction in the following manner.

$Z n C l_{2} (l) + H_{2} (g) \to Z n (s) + 2 H C l (d i l)$

Can we say the reaction above is in the correct representation?

Solution

The correct option is B
False

The representation is wrong. In the chemical reaction the reactants are written on left side of the reaction separated by (+) sign. Similarly, products are written on right side of the reaction separated by (+) sign. The arrowhead points towards products, and shows the direction of the reaction.

So the correct representation for the reaction would be $Z n (s) + 2 H C l (d i l) \to Z n C l_{2} (l) + H_{2} (g)$ .
