Answer:

O HCl will be completely used up while Zn will remain in excess.

Explanation:

  • Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂

In reactions involving two reactants, if one of them is the limiting reactant then the other one has to be the reactant in excess.

Meaning that in this case, the reaction will proceed until HCl is completely used up, and a certain amount of Zn will remain (thus being the reactant in excess).
