The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the given reactions, we will analyze the reactions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: - The first reaction is: \[ \text{Zn} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{ZnCl}_2 + \text{H}_2 \] - The second reaction is: \[ \text{Fe} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{FeCl}_2 + \text{H}_2 \] 2. **Determine the Type of Reaction**: - Both reactions involve a metal (Zn or Fe) reacting with an acid (HCl) to produce a salt (ZnCl₂ or FeCl₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂). - This indicates that these reactions are examples of **single displacement reactions** (also known as single replacement reactions), where a more reactive metal displaces hydrogen from the acid. 3. **Refer to the Reactivity Series**: - The reactivity series ranks metals based on their ability to displace other metals from compounds. In this case, both zinc and iron are more reactive than hydrogen. - Therefore, zinc can displace hydrogen from hydrochloric acid, and iron can also do the same. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both reactions involve the displacement of hydrogen by a metal, we can conclude that these reactions represent **displacement reactions**. ### Final Answer: Both reactions represent **displacement reactions** where metals displace hydrogen from hydrochloric acid. ---
