Answer :
The question requires us to classify the reaction given by choosing one of the options from the group of options provided.
Considering the options given, we can say about these type of reactions:
- In an addition reaction, we have two compounds combining to form a new compound:
[tex]A+B\to AB[/tex]- In a single displacement reaction, the scheme of the reaction is as it follows:
[tex]A+BC\to AC+B[/tex](A displaces B and combines with C, forming AC)
- In a double displacement reaction, two components are displaced at the same time:
[tex]AB+CD\to AD+CB[/tex]- In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water.
- In a combustion reaction, the compound being burned reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Considering the information above, we can classify the reaction given as a single displacement reaction (Zn displaces H and combines with Cl to form ZnCl2).
Therefore, the best option to answer this question is the second one (single displacement).
