The chemical equation is

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

(aq) means aqueous solution

(s) means solid

(g) means gas.

A chemical word equation is when you use the symbols from the Periodic Table together to make a new substance.

ex. H2O

Hydrogen + 2 Oxygens = Water OR H + O2 = H2O (H-hydrogen O-oxygen H2O- water) Thats a chemical word equation!

Chemical equation uses the scientific symbols in the equation, and also makes it balanced.

Word Equation:

Oxygen + Glucose > Water + Carbon Dioxide

Chemical Equation:

O2 + C6H12O6 > H2O + CO2

(Balanced)

6O2 + C6H12O6 > 6H2O + 6CO2
