    Answer: It becomes the uncombined element in the product.

    Explanation:

    The reaction between Zn and HCl is a single displacement reaction according to equation below

    Zn + 2HCl - > ZnCl2 + H2

    Zn displaces H2 from acid and in the product, hydrogen became the uncombined element.

    A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound. When a replacement reaction occurs, a new aqueous compound and a different pure element will be generated as products.
