Answer : The net ionic equation will be,
[tex]Zn(s)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]
Explanation :
In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.
Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.
The balanced ionic equation between zinc and hydrochloric acid will be,
[tex]Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow ZnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]
The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,
[tex]Zn(s)+2H^+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]
In this equation, [tex]Cl^-[/tex] is the spectator ion.
By removing the spectator ion from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.
The net ionic equation will be,
[tex]Zn(s)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+H_2(g)[/tex]
