Answer:

The correct answer is option d: CaCl2 + H2

Explanation:


Hello!

Let's solve this!


When the Ca + HCl is joined there is a replacement reaction in which Ca takes the place of H and to balance loads, we need two atoms of Cl.


The resulting reaction is CaCl2 + H2


The complete reaction is

Ca + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2


We conclude that the correct answer is option d: CaCl2 + H2
